Three years ago, I was given the opportunity to lead the innovation and development of a new online Master of Science in Counseling program pursuing accreditation.

What an incredible undertaking this has been. This journey has truly been life-changing in so many ways! Along the way, I’ve had the absolute honor of collaborating with brilliant professionals who worked tirelessly, going above and beyond to ensure the highest quality learning experience for our students while supporting our accreditation efforts.

This milestone was never the work of one person. It was a true collective effort made possible by the passion, dedication, and invaluable contributions of an extraordinarily talented team.

While submitting our application for accreditation is only the beginning of a long and extensive process, I would be remiss not to pause and acknowledge the magnitude of this achievement and the commitment of the amazing individuals who helped make it possible.

I am incredibly proud of what we have built together and I’m beyond excited for what lies ahead!

Motherhood exists in so many beautiful forms!

Today, we honor the mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, foster mothers, mentors, caregivers, grieving mothers, hopeful mothers, and the women who nurture others with love, strength, and compassion every single day.

So much of motherhood happens quietly, in the sacrifices no one sees, the emotional labor carried behind the scenes, the comfort offered in hard moments, and the unwavering presence that helps shape lives and generations.

Nurturing others often requires deep emotional strength. To all the amazing mothers and mother figures… you deserve support, rest, healing, and care too.

To all the women who love deeply and continue showing up with resilience and grace. I see you, honor you, and celebrate you!

Happy Mother’s Day 🌷

One of the greatest gifts of my doctoral journey has been the opportunity to travel, present at national conferences, and connect with brilliant humans who share a passion for this work! Presenting, learning, and laughing alongside colleagues I truly admire reminds me why I chose this path. My doctorate truly changed my life, and I’m so grateful to give back to the field through research, teaching, and meaningful conversations that matter! Until next time… 📚🎤

This season can bring joy and grief, connection and distance, gratitude and exhaustion.

If the holidays feel heavy, different, or quiet this year, there is nothing wrong with you.

You are allowed to honor your needs, protect your energy, and move at your own pace.

There is no “right” way to do the holidays, only the way that feels safest and most authentic for you.

✨What a week!✨
From proudly serving as Mistress of Ceremonies at graduation to hopping on a plane to present two sessions at a national conference, it’s been nonstop, but I wouldn’t trade a second of it. 💜✈️🎓

Grateful for every opportunity to grow, share, and connect through the work I love. When passion and purpose align, even the busiest weeks feel rewarding!!

🎓✨ In case you couldn’t tell… graduations are kinda my thing! 💜

After earning my doctorate, I honestly thought that might be the last time I’d wear my regalia; but now I get to bring it out every year, and I couldn’t love it more!

There’s something so special about watching students and their families celebrate all those late nights, the “I can’t do this” moments that turned into “I DID it!” It’s pure joy, resilience, and the magic of what’s next!

Serving as Mistress of Ceremonies for the third year in a row has truly been such an honor, and one of my favorite parts of working at the university! 🎤

Congratulations to the Class of 2025… you did it! Believe me when I say… this is just the beginning… the best is yet to come!

⚽️ BIG NEWS! ⚽️
I’m so excited to introduce a few of our incredible student-athletes who are part of our Inaugural Soccer Team! 💜🤍

Men are often told to “man up,” “stay strong,” or “just deal with it.” To the men who are fighting the silent battles… just know you’re not alone. There’s strength in facing what’s hard. In talking about what hurts. In asking for help when you need it. For those who were never given the space to feel or to be heard… you are important and valued!

Mental health doesn’t care about gender; anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma… they show up for everyone. You don’t have to suffer in silence.

You can be strong and struggle. You can be tough and talk about what hurts. You’re allowed to be human.

This month, and always, let’s honor the strength in vulnerability. 💪💙
