5 years ago today I ventured off into starting my own business / private practice scratch. It’s been quite the journey. I’m so grateful to have been able to help so many people over the years. To many more.

Some of the best moments can be right in front of us. It’s up to us to see the beauty and have the perspective to appreciate it.

One’s mental health journey re: progress is not always linear. We all have good days, bad days, awful days, wonderful days. Progress is still progress.

It’s been three years since I ventured off on my own to create . I’ve learned so much about myself along the way.To many more years.

I can’t help but to think of a faucet, or flowing water. 🚰🌊

Always will be a social worker at heart.

I hope everyone has some time for self-care and spends time with the people they love. ❤️❤️❤️

"The winter solstice time is no longer celebrated as it once was, with the understanding that this is a period of descent and rest, of going within our homes, within ourselves and taking in all that we have been through, all that has passed in this full year which is coming to a close... like nature and the animal kingdom around us, this time of hibernation is so necessary for our tired limbs, our burdened minds.
Our modern culture teaches avoidance at a max at this time; alcohol, lights, shopping, overworking, over spending, comfort food and consumerism.
And yet the natural tug to go inwards as nearly all creatures are doing is strong and the weather so bitter that people are left feeling that winter is hard, because for those of us without burning fires and big festive families, it can be lonely and isolating. Whereas in actual fact winter is kind, she points us in her quiet soft way towards our inner self, towards this annual time of peace and reflection, embracing the darkness and forgiving, accepting and loving embracing goodbye the past year.
"Winter takes away the distractions, the buzz, and presents us with the perfect time to rest and withdraw into a womb like love, bringing fire & light to our hearth".. and then, just around the corner the new year will begin again, and like a seed planted deep in the earth, we will all rise with renewed energy once again to dance in the sunlight
Life is a gift ❤ a Happy winter to you all..."

My cat Gretchen knows when I’m going to work vs vacation vs for the day. She generally gives me the cold shoulder or stares me down from the front window. If she had it her way, I’d never leave the home.

We oftentimes feel like there’s a race to make the most money, have the flashiest car, when in reality, what really matters is if we feel like we are making a difference in others’ lives.

Stay Single Until You Find Someone Who Puts Effort Into Pursuing You Every Single Day

Relationships. 💗

thepowerofsilence.co Don’t let anyone fool you that love is hard. Love is not supposed to make you wonder someone’s actions. It is not supposed to send you to bed with tears in your eyes. Love is not supposed to ruin your life. Love is not supposed to make you suffer. Love is supposed to liberate you. So, why would ...

The good ol’ iceberg. The tip of the iceberg is the “success” people see; perhaps people don’t realize just how much work it actually took to get to that “success.” Underneath the surface lies all the early mornings, classes, tests, studying, retaking courses. This is where the meat of the hard work lies. Have you ever experienced this iceberg phenomenon?
