I was terrified going up the mountain, not just of the height, but of everything it represented. Fear. Vulnerability. Growth. With the encouragement of my therapist friend, Jacqueline from Brazil, I took the leap. I stepped onto the Fløibanen and let it carry me up to the top of Mount Fløyen.

As we climbed above Bergen, watching the fjord and city open up beneath me, I realized this was bigger than a view. It was proof. Proof that fear doesn’t get the final word.

After facing my fears during the IFTA Congress 2026, this felt like the final step, rising anyway, even when my heart was racing. Growth is uncomfortable. Healing is brave. And sometimes, the most beautiful views come after the hardest climbs 💪

Good morning from beautiful Bergen, Norway 🇳🇴

I’m enjoying breakfast at the International Family Therapy Association Congress here in Bergen, and I’m reminded how powerful the connection is between what we eat and how we feel.

As a counselor and family coach in Community Counseling I often talk with families about communication patterns, stress, and emotional regulation, but we can’t overlook diet. Nutrition plays a direct role in mood stability, energy levels, concentration, and even anxiety and depression symptoms.

Research continues to show that balanced meals with whole foods, healthy fats, lean proteins, and complex carbohydrates support brain health and emotional resilience. When families prioritize shared, nourishing meals, they’re not just feeding their bodies they’re strengthening connection and mental wellness.

Grateful to be learning alongside colleagues from around the world at the International Family Therapy Association Congress here in Bergen. Conversations about systemic health must include both relational and physical wellbeing.

What we put on our plates truly impacts what we bring to the table, emotionally and relationally. 🍉 🍇 🍊 🥚

Today we recognize the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, a day that reminds us that dignity, safety, and belonging are not privileges… they are rights.

As a community counseling center led by one counselor and family coach, I see firsthand how racial stress, generational trauma, and lived experiences of discrimination impact mental health, family dynamics, and a person’s sense of identity. These experiences are real. And they deserve space to be acknowledged and processed.

Healing happens when people feel seen.
Growth happens when people feel heard.
Change happens when communities choose courage over silence.

My commitment is to provide a safe, culturally responsive space where individuals and families can explore their stories, strengthen resilience, and build healthier futures, free from shame and rooted in respect.

Today and every day I stand for empathy, accountability, and equity in mental health care ✊🏿✊✊🏾✊🏼✊🏽✊🏻

🌞 International Day of Happiness 🌞

Happiness isn’t about being positive all the time. It’s about feeling supported, connected, and emotionally safe, even on the hard days.

As a one-counselor, family-centered practice, I see every day how happiness grows from:
✨ Healthy relationships
✨ Emotional awareness
✨ Boundaries that protect your peace
✨ Families who learn how to communicate with compassion

True happiness is built, not by avoiding struggle but by having the tools and support to move through it.

Today, on the International Day of Happiness, I invite you to check in:

What is one small thing that brings you peace?
Who makes you feel seen and valued?
What boundary might protect your joy?

At this community counseling center, I believe happiness is not a destination it’s the result of intentional mental health care, family connection, and courage to grow.

If you or your family are ready to build a foundation for lasting well-being, I’m here. 💛 scaaccc@gmail.com

🧠 March is National Brain Injury Awareness Month 🧠

At this community counseling center, I recognize that brain injuries are often invisible yet they can impact every part of a person’s life: emotions, memory, relationships, focus, and sense of identity.

As a solo counselor and family coach, I have the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families navigating life after concussion, TBI, medical trauma, or neurological change. Healing isn’t just physical, it’s emotional, relational, and deeply personal.

Brain injury can look like:
• Mood changes
• Increased anxiety or depression
• Sensory overwhelm
• Fatigue or brain fog
• Struggles in marriage or parenting
• Feeling “not like yourself”

And it deserves compassionate, informed support. This month, I honor survivors, caregivers, and families who show incredible resilience every day 🙏

If you or someone you love is adjusting to life after a brain injury, you are not alone. Support, understanding, and practical tools can make a meaningful difference.

🍀Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Today is about more than green shirts and lucky charms, it’s about connection, community, and the people who make us feel supported.

At this Community Counseling Center, led by one dedicated counselor and family life coach, I believe the real “luck” in life comes from having someone in your corner. Someone who listens. Someone who helps you navigate hard seasons. Someone who reminds you that growth is possible even when it feels tough.

If you’re searching for clarity, healing, or simply a safe place to land, you don’t have to rely on luck. Support is here 🌈

Wishing our community peace, resilience, and maybe a little extra joy today. 💚

It's NATIONAL GOOD SAMARITAN DAY!

National Good Samaritan Day on March 13th recognizes the unselfish actions of those who provide help when needed. The day is also known as Good Samaritan Involvement Day and celebrates kindness in all its forms 🥰

The term "good Samaritan" comes from the Bible parable where a Samaritan helped a stranger who had been robbed and beaten and left to die by the side of the road. The Samaritan not only cleaned the man's wounds and clothed him but took him to an inn where he paid for the man's care.

The term is used today to describe those who perform acts of kindness for those in need, especially those who are strangers.

HOW TO OBSERVE GOOD SAMARITAN DAY

📌 Make an effort to help someone who is struggling or having a problem.
📌 Share a story about someone who was a Good Samaritan in your life.
📌 The act of a Good Samaritan can be large or small. Something as simple as a phone call to as inconvenient as stopping to help change a tire are all acts of a good Samaritan.
📌 Make a commitment to developing a habit of kindness and awareness of others.
📌 Volunteer. Offer your valuable skills to others in times of need. Do you enjoy sports or have mad math skills? Your ability to mentor youth may change someone's life for the better.

Good Samaritan FAQ

Q. What is a good Samaritan law?

A. A good Samaritan law protects someone who provides aid in an emergency from being sued for injuries or damages. The laws vary from state to state but generally have the expectation that the good Samaritan asks permission if possible from the ill, injured, or in danger and that they do not act in a reckless or negligent manner.

Q. Does every state have good Samaritan laws?

A. Yes. Additionally, Federal laws protect good Samaritans.

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month 💙

At our community counseling center, we honor and support individuals and families navigating developmental disabilities with compassion, advocacy, and evidence-based care.

Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month is about more than awareness, it’s about inclusion, empowerment, and opportunity.

As a center run by one counselor and family coach, I work closely with families to:
✨ Strengthen communication and connection
✨ Build routines that support regulation and growth
✨ Advocate within school and community systems
✨ Support siblings and caregivers
✨ Celebrate every milestone, big and small

Every individual deserves to be seen for their strengths, supported in their challenges, and included in their community.

This month, let’s move from awareness to action:
✔️ Choose inclusive language
✔️ Support inclusive classrooms and activities
✔️ Listen to families’ lived experiences
✔️ Model acceptance for our children

If your family is navigating ADHD, autism spectrum differences, intellectual disabilities, or other developmental challenges, you are not alone. Support, strategy, and hope are available.

Together, we build communities where everyone belongs. 💙 scaaccc@gmail.com

Today on International Women’s Day, I celebrate the strength, resilience, and compassion of women everywhere, especially the women who balance caring for others while continuing to grow, lead, and serve 💜

As one counselor, family coach, and mother, I understand that women often carry many roles at once: nurturing families, supporting communities, guiding others through challenges, and still finding the courage to keep moving forward.

At this Community Counseling Center, every conversation is rooted in empowerment, healing, and helping individuals and families discover their strength through life’s transitions. Supporting emotional wellness is not just my profession, it is part of who I am as a woman committed to helping others thrive.

Today is a reminder that every woman’s story matters, every voice deserves to be heard, and every journey deserves support 🌷

📣 Happy International Women’s Day to the women building strong families, strong communities, and brighter futures every day 🥰

❤️🖤 Happy Birthday to NC State! 🎉🐺

NC State holds a special place in the foundation of this community counseling center, as it is where advanced study in Youth, Family, and Community Sciences strengthened my understanding that healthy individuals, strong families, and connected communities all grow together.

That perspective continues every day through counseling and family coaching helping people navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and build resilience across every stage of life.

The lessons from Youth, Family, and Community Sciences reminds me that support systems matter, connection matters, and investing in people creates lasting impact far beyond one moment.

Celebrating NC State today with gratitude for the knowledge, purpose, and community-centered values that continue to guide my work ❤️🖤🐺 NC State Department of Agricultural and Human Sciences

📣 On National Women Coach’s Day, I celebrate the privilege of coaching in many forms, as a counselor, family life coach, competitive high school cheer coach, and through doctoral work in Sport and Performance Psychology 🔱💙💚📣🐾💙💜

Coaching athletes goes far beyond routines, sidelines, and competition days. It means helping young people develop confidence, resilience, discipline, emotional control, and the mindset to perform under pressure while growing as individuals.

The same principles that guide sport and performance psychology focus, perseverance, mental strength, and self-belief, also strengthen families, students, and communities.

Whether in counseling sessions or on the cheer floor, coaching is about helping others discover what they are capable of becoming. Strong coaching leaves an impact far beyond the season 🙏 Grateful for the opportunity 🙏 Palisades Pumas High School Cheer Steele Creek SeaGals JWU Charlotte
