July is wrapping up — and before it goes, a question worth sitting with. 💭

This month was BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month, a reminder that access to mental health care hasn't been equal, and that stigma shows up differently in every community and every family.

So here's the question: if you've been thinking about therapy but haven't started — what's actually stopping you?

"It's too expensive." → I'm in-network with Optum and VA Community Care, and I offer a sliding scale. Let's talk about it before assuming.

"I don't have time." → Telehealth fits into lunch breaks and after bedtimes.

"My problems aren't bad enough." → Therapy isn't only for crisis. Wanting more peace is reason enough.

"I tried it once and it didn't work." → The fit matters more than anything. One wrong fit isn't proof therapy fails.

"People like me don't go to therapy." → That's stigma talking — and it's exactly what this month exists to challenge. Getting support isn't a betrayal of your strength. It's an investment in it.

August starts Monday. It could start differently. 🌿

Out of the office for the week recharging the battery traveling abroad, slowing down and spending time with some close friends! It’s been an up and down few months taking the leap into full-time private practice and it’s not possible for me to pour from an empty cup!

May has been a full month — and as it wraps up, I'm holding two things close. 💙

First: Mental Health Awareness Month is ending, but the need for honest conversations about emotional wellbeing never stops. If this month moved you, inspired you, or nudged you closer to getting support — don't let that momentum fade when June arrives.

And this Memorial Day, we pause to honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to this country. That sacrifice is sacred, and it deserves to be named clearly: we remember the fallen. We grieve them. We are grateful for them.

We also know that many of those who came home are carrying their own profound weight — combat trauma, PTSD, moral injury, the grief of losing fellow service members, and the challenge of rebuilding a life after war. These struggles are real, they are common, and they are treatable. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It is an act of courage — the same kind of courage that defined their service.

At Metta Wellness, I am honored to serve veterans and active duty service members as a VA Community Care Network provider, using approaches like EMDR, CBT, and trauma-focused care.

And for anyone navigating trauma, anxiety, or patterns that are keeping them stuck — I offer Walk & Talk Therapy outdoors in Palm Beach Gardens, and telehealth for those in FL, TN & IL.

To the families of the fallen: your grief is honored here.
To those who served and are still finding their way: support is available, and you don't have to do it alone.
To everyone else: if May lit a spark, don't let it go out. 🌿

Free consultations always available.

March is Social Work Month, and as we wrap up this special month, I want to shout out every single social worker out there — no matter where you work. 💙

The social worker in the hospital room, helping families navigate devastating news with grace.
The school social worker who spotted what a teacher couldn't and changed a child's trajectory.
The macro social worker fighting for policy change at the systems level.
The community organizer making sure vulnerable populations don't fall through the cracks.
The military social worker supporting veterans carrying invisible wounds.
The hospice social worker holding space for the hardest goodbye.
The child welfare worker showing up in impossible circumstances, every single day.
And the clinical social worker in the therapy room — helping people heal one session at a time.

This profession shows up everywhere humans are hurting. And that is something worth celebrating.

Here at Metta Wellness, I'm proud to be part of this profession in the clinical space — specializing in trauma, PTSD, and anxiety using approaches like EMDR and CBT. If you or someone you love has been thinking about starting therapy, I'd love to connect. Free consultations are available.

February is Black History Month! It’s a time to honor the contributions of African Americans—from civil rights heroes to innovators in science, business and culture. First officially recognized in 1976, this annual observance grew out of Dr. Carter G. Woodson’s Negro History Week. This year’s theme, “A Century of Black History Commemorations,” marks 100 years since the observance began and invites us to reflect on how these commemorations have shaped our modern world. Join us in honoring the past and building a more inclusive future.

A little movement goes a long way. Exercise releases natural mood boosters called endorphins and helps lower stress hormones. Even short bursts of activity can improve mood and mental clarity. What’s your favorite way to stay active?
