LET'S CO-CREATE PEACE TOGETHER

Never forget. “Let’s get in good trouble” friends.♥️

▫️Nourishing friendships are truly reciprocal - a beautiful exchange of giving and receiving. They create a sanctuary of peace and comfort, where you feel protected and accepted for who you are. In these special bonds, support flows freely, and you’re lovingly challenged to become the best version of yourself.

▫️But remember, to experience these incredible benefits, you must also offer them in return. Be the friend you wish to have. Listen actively, show up consistently, and celebrate their successes as if they were your own. Offer a safe space for vulnerability and growth. Challenge them with kindness to reach their full potential.

▫️True friendship is an investment of heart and time. When you nurture these connections with genuine care and effort, you cultivate relationships that enrich your life in countless ways. So, be the friend you want in your life, and watch how your relationships flourish.

When you start honoring who you are, you’ll realize that growth isn’t about becoming someone new. It��’s about nurturing the unique potential you’ve always had.

▫️One of my favorite books, “The Wealthy Spirit: Daily Affirmations,” offers practical guidance on channeling energy with clarity and purpose. These questions have become my gold standard, ensuring that I am doing work that truly fills me up. I work consistently with my clients to identify energy drains and direct their focus towards projects that align with their values and support their highest self-evolution.

Step 1️⃣: Give life to your vision by writing it down.

Step 2️⃣: Create an action plan to achieve the goal. This plan will evolve as your goal becomes clearer, so stay flexible.

Step 3️⃣: Start somewhere. Do one thing every day towards actualization. Don’t overthink it.

▫️When life feels overwhelming, it’s okay to pace yourself. Restore balance by embracing what your nervous system craves: the power of slow, the strength of steady, and the security of safe.

✨Through the Therapist’s Eyes: Understanding Trauma in Session

▪️Clinicians are like detectives, piecing together the puzzle of stress by looking at cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and psychological clues. They dive into the client’s history to understand what’s disrupted their normal flow. The focus is always on ‘What happened to you?’ rather than ‘What’s wrong with you?’ This approach helps us see the whole person, not just the symptoms.

▪️As a person-centered therapist, I believe that connection matters a great deal to the healing process. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for fostering trust and creating a safe space where clients can explore their experiences and begin to heal.

▪️My clients are the most brilliant, tenacious, fearless, and audacious individuals I’ve ever met. They are kind, loving, caring, and creative. They embrace life with a sense of fun and a refusal to give up. Always ready to evolve, they are curious, understanding, compassionate, and empathetic. Their spirit inspires me every day, and they deserve to be supported in an extraordinary way because they truly are extraordinary.

Last night’s Girl Get Ready Pajama Night was absolutely phenomenal! There’s nothing more empowering than a vibrant community of brilliant women coming together to celebrate each other with love and enthusiasm. Are you ready for day two? We delved deeply into the essence of community, harnessed the incredible power of friendship, tuned into our intuition, embraced our softer sides, and uplifted that radiant feminine energy! ♥️✨ #GirlGetReady #empowerment

▪️When we talk about quality time, we’re talking about giving someone your full, undivided attention. It’s about being present and not distracted. Remember, what makes one person feel loved may not be the same for someone else. We often love others based on how we want to be loved, and learning your partner’s love language can feel overwhelming.

▪️Reflect on what your loved ones have expressed wanting to do with you. How often do you give your full attention to one thing? Consider what quality conversation means to you. Are you listening to truly understand your partner’s thoughts, feelings, and hopes? Are you willing to simply listen without trying to fix things?

▪️Think about this: ‘I feel most loved by my partner when...’ This can help you understand what quality time means to them. Quality time doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. Ask yourself, what gets in the way of spending quality time? Let’s focus on making those moments count.

#QualityTime ♥️

▫️You know, physical touch often gets misunderstood as a love language because people think it’s just about sex. But really, it’s about so much more. It’s those little moments of intimacy—like holding hands, sharing a kiss, or just a warm hug. These simple touches can make you feel safe, valued, and comforted.

▫️Have you ever thought about what really affects you deeply, whether it’s something that brings you joy or something that hurts? Those moments can teach us a lot about what we truly need from our partners. When you understand what makes you happy or what hurts you, it becomes easier to connect with your partner in a meaningful way.

▫️Love is really about making your partner feel cherished, not just doing what feels good to you. So, what do you think? What kind of touch makes you feel most loved?

#PhysicalTouch 🤍

▫️Love is about doing things for the well-being of those you care about. Words of encouragement and affirmation can make a huge difference. Think about the times when someone’s words have impacted you deeply, for better or worse. Let your words be genuine and kind, reminding your loved ones of their brilliance and how much they mean to you.

#WordsOfAffirmation 💗🗣️

What are some ways to gracefully let go of battles that aren’t worth fighting? 💭

▫️Acts of service are all about doing things you know your partner will appreciate. It’s those little everyday actions, like cooking dinner, setting the table, washing the dishes, vacuuming, taking care of the baby after a rough night, cleaning the car, or walking the dog. For someone who values acts of service, these things really show love.

▫️It’s about helping out with the small stuff and doing it without being asked. Think of these tasks as ways to show love, not just chores. This mindset can really strengthen your relationship.

▫️Take a moment to think about how you approach acts of service in your relationship. What might be stopping you from doing these things more often? Can you find ways to help out more, like maybe taking over some tasks or hiring help for certain things? There are plenty of ways to show love through acts of service, and each one helps you connect more with your partner.

#ActsOfService 🖤

I recognize that worrying about the future won’t influence it. #ThePowerOfNow 🌳🌞

▫️“Gifts are visual symbols of love.” We celebrate many of life’s big moments—like weddings, baby showers, and birthdays—through gift-giving. For those whose primary love language is receiving gifts, these tokens hold special meaning as expressions of love. It’s not about the cost but the thought behind it.

▫️To become a thoughtful partner, pay attention to what your loved one has been excited to receive over the years. If this is challenging, you might need to rethink how you view money and spending as expressions of love. Remember, your approach to money often reflects your own emotional needs. In this case, it’s about meeting your partner’s emotional needs and investing in your relationship.

▫️Think about intangible gifts, like the gift of presence. Are you there to support your partner during tough times? Do you prioritize them over work when they need you?

▫️Listen carefully to your partner—they’ll tell you what they love and what makes them feel valued. Even when money is tight, there are creative ways to express love through gifts. It’s all about making your partner feel cherished.

#ReceivingGifts 💗

Repeat after me…

Words can hurt, but they can also heal. Taking accountability and making space for repair strengthens relationships. Apologizing isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being willing to grow…

▫️The silencing of Black women through shame tactics is real. Let your light shine brightly, inspire others, and stay true to your unique path. Run your race and make it count!

Responding to gaslighting doesn’t mean meeting manipulation with anger. ♥️ Stay calm, set boundaries, and stand firm in your truth— with compassion. You deserve to be heard and respected. ✨ #StayStrong #GaslightingAwareness #HealthyBoundaries

From my birth family to the family I’ve chosen, I’m grateful for the genuine care they show me.
#GratefulForFamily ♥️

▫️As mothers, part of our journey involves healing the often complex mother-daughter relationship. Understanding emotional dysregulation allows us to bring conscious and compassionate awareness to these feelings.

▫️Let’s embrace a healing practice that helps us see our moms as human, fostering forgiveness that leads to growth. This opens the door to deeper compassion and connection.

#Forgiveness 🤍

Gaslighting is real, and it’s not in your head. 🚨 If you’ve been feeling constant self-doubt, confusion, or like you can’t trust your own memory— pay attention. You deserve clarity, truth, and respect. ♥️✨
#KnowTheSigns #GaslightingAwareness #YouDeserveBetter

👀 Not sure? Let’s get curious…

Have you noticed feeling confused or doubting your memory after conversations?

Do you often feel like you’re overreacting, even when your feelings are valid?

Are you frequently apologizing without being sure why?

Do you feel isolated from friends or family who validate your experiences?

Have you been told you’re too sensitive or imagining things?

✨Trust yourself. Your feelings are real and your experiences matter. ✨

▫️Gaslighting is a manipulative tactic that makes you question your own reality and memories. It’s important to trust your instincts and hold onto your truth. #Gaslighting #LetsTalkAboutIt

I make mistakes, but I’m grateful for the grace to recognize my growth and extend forgiveness to others. We’re all trying our best. ♥️ #Forgiveness

▫️Therapy is where truth is honored, growth is nurtured, and progress—not perfection—is the goal. Together, we turn insight into action, build capacity, and create a space free of judgment and shame. Healing is a journey, and I’m here to walk it with you. ♥️ #TherapyWithMe #GrowthOverPerfection #HealingInProgress #GrowthInProgress #TraumaHealing
