Merry Christmas! Today I’m sharing this with a very full heart.

I was named Best of the Beaches for the third year in a row, and it feels like a beautiful gift to receive on Christmas Day.

While I’m deeply grateful for the recognition, what truly fills my heart are the people behind it. The trust of those I have the privilege of working with is never something I take lightly, and it’s the real reason this honor exists at all.

As Winston Churchill once said “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” This work has always been about giving care, attention, and presence, and to have that reflected back in this way is something I receive with genuine gratitude.

So today, more than celebrating an award, I’m honoring the people who made this year what it was. You are the gift. Always.

Feeling grateful, feeling full, and wishing you the warmest, happiest Christmas. 🤍

It’s Christmas Eve Eve and after spending most of the past month in South Florida and briefly stopping home today before heading back out to be with family, I’ve found myself sitting with something that has been quietly settling in my heart.

Last week, after coming in from my riding lesson, I was told that Harry Benson would be stopping by in the next few minutes, and by chance that turned into sitting down together and talking.

What moved me was not the scope of his life or the history he has stood beside, but the way he spoke about what it means to be behind the camera when life is unfolding in front of you.

For him, photography has never been about spectacle or distance. It has been about responsibility. About recognizing a moment as it is happening, and honoring it without turning away.

We spoke about art, about culture, about Scotland, soccer, about paying attention to people rather than outcomes, and about the seriousness of truly seeing what’s in front of you.

He spoke about photography as art, movement and energy, about trusting instinct in moments that don’t announce themselves in advance, and that resonated deeply with the work I do every day, sitting with people, listening carefully, and honoring the parts of their humanity that don’t ask to be staged or softened.

What I cherished about that exchange was how naturally two people shaped by different crafts arrived at the same place. A respect for real life as it is, and for the care it takes to witness another human being honestly.

Sitting among his photographs, I didn’t feel close to history. I felt close to humanity. To the understanding that when we choose to truly see one another, something is preserved that would otherwise disappear.

As Christmas arrives, that reminder feels especially meaningful. Not everything of value can be wrapped, purchased, or displayed.

Some of the most lasting gifts are moments of presence, kindness offered without agenda, and the simple act of seeing one another clearly. Those moments are gold, and I hope this season brings you a few of them, in whatever form they find you.

Being in the field of mental health has taught me a lot, but one of the most consistent lessons about human behavior is that stress doesn’t create character. It reveals it.

Pressure doesn’t change people. It clarifies who they already are, what they orient toward, and how they relate to others when there’s no room left to perform.

Another thing that becomes very clear in high-pressure environments is that people don’t fight to the bitter end for ideas, ideologies, or directives.

They fight and do it for each other. Belonging to a team, an organization, or a unit is often a stronger motivator than any set of principles written on paper. People endure hardship because of the relationships around them, not because of abstract causes.

Fear follows a similar pattern. It isn’t eliminated by cheerleading or positivity. Fear softens when there is clarity. When people understand what’s happening, where things stand, and what comes next.

When there’s permission to pause, take a breath, and orient, that’s what actually settles fear, both individually and within a team.

Meaning sits underneath all of this. And in performance-driven environments and even long after those chapters end, meaning is essential. When meaning is stripped away, even the most comfortable situations become unbearable.

The nervous system needs to know why it’s here, not just that it’s safe.

And one of the most corrosive forces in high-performing teams is unchecked ego. Confidence isn’t the issue. Strength isn’t the issue. Intensity isn’t the issue.

Ego becomes toxic when it stops serving the group and starts serving the self. When that happens, it quietly undermines trust, cohesion, and performance.

I am so excited to share that Coastal Beaches Therapy was just named Best Self-Care Provider for JAXBest 2025, presented by and .

It feels like such an incredible honor to be recognized throughout Jacksonville and the surrounding communities for work built on compassion, care, and elevation. I’m deeply grateful and this recognition means more than I can say.

Self-care has always been at the heart of what I do, helping people restore balance, reconnect with themselves, and remember that mental health and well-being are vital parts of a full and healthy life. They belong to everyone, everywhere, no matter what you do or who you lead.

That is the real self-care. It is not indulgence, it’s backbone. It’s how we care for ourselves and each other through the hard seasons. How we lead, recover, and rise. That is the heart of this work, and being trusted to do it is the greatest privilege of all.

A heartfelt thank you to and for putting together such a meaningful campaign that celebrates the people and businesses making a difference in our community, and to everyone who believes in this work and in me. I am so proud to call Jacksonville home 💫

“Synchronicity is an ever-present reality for those who have eyes to see” - Carl Gustav Jung

At its core synchronicity isn’t about predicting the future or reading too far into every moment…it’s about awareness.

Carl Jung defined it as meaningful coincidence: when something in your external world aligns with something happening internally, creating a moment that feels emotionally significant.

From a mental health lens especially in the work I do around anxiety and performance, synchronicity can offer a helpful reframe. Our brains are wired to search for patterns and it’s how we create safety and meaning in a fast-moving, often overwhelming world.

When we notice repeated symbols, names, or moments, it’s less about superstition and more about self-reflection. These moments can give us a window into what we’re thinking, feeling, or avoiding.

They aren’t signs to panic or make impulsive decisions, they are invitations to pause and ask: “Is there something here I haven’t fully acknowledged yet?”

It’s a cognitive skill to slow down and reflect, rather than react. And synchronicity when grounded in awareness, can help strengthen that skill.

So no, your mind isn’t predicting the future…It’s highlighting what’s emotionally charged or unresolved. And when we treat those moments as opportunities, not omens, we build insight, not anxiety.

You don’t have to chase signs…Just stay curious enough to notice them.

There are victories and then there are moments that shift the soul of a sport.

Today, Rory McIlroy won the 2025 Masters and with it, he completed a career Grand Slam. But this wasn’t just a win, it was a full-circle moment and quiet, steady love letter to persistence.

He could’ve let the “almosts” define him, he could have walked away and he could have said maybe this one just wasn’t meant to be. But instead he stayed, he believed, and he persisted.

Rory McIlroy didn’t just join the rare company of Grand Slam champions, he reminded the world what it means to honor the long game, to keep showing up long after the applause fades, and to chase the dream your soul refuses to let go of, even when it breaks your heart along the way.

He didn’t just win the Masters, he closed a chapter with grace and opened a new one with glory.

And the boy from Northern Ireland, the one who picked up a golf club before he could tie his shoes, walked off the 18th green not just as a champion but as living, breathing proof that dreams deferred are not dreams denied.

The Green Jacket finally fits and it looks good on you Rory, and the world couldn’t be more proud.

“No child should die in the dawn of life.”
– Danny Thomas, Founder of St. Jude

Still holding the resonance of last night’s St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Cocktail Party in Palm Beach where grace wasn’t just present, it was palpable.

Grateful to be in such a beautiful space where hope wasn’t just mentioned, it was moved forward.

As a mental health provider and advocate, I’ve seen how real change begins: softly, relationally, and with the courage to show up when it matters most.

Healing is never isolated. It ripples, it expands, and it anchors us in meaning.

So while I breathe, I hope and I’ll always be reminded: We don’t just live to give, we give to live.

Tonight at the Sandals, Sneakers & Stilettos Gala I had the joy of celebrating the and their unwavering commitment to children and families. Mental health support in childhood isn’t just important, it shapes everything that follows. Seeing so many people come together for that mission was truly inspiring.

Even more meaningful was sharing the night with fellow social workers and mental health professionals…the ones who show up, who advocate, who understand that access to the right care at the right time doesn’t just change lives, it builds stronger futures.

Since day one, working with kids and families has been one of the deepest privileges of my career. When children feel safe and supported, their world expands. When families have the right resources, they don’t just navigate challenges, they move forward with strength.

With March being Social Work Month, the timing felt perfect. But more than that, last night was a reflection of something bigger: when we invest in the well-being of children and families, we create something lasting; something that makes the world a little stronger, a little kinder, and full of possibility. 💙✨

Today I had the privilege of witnessing athletes, leaders, and changemakers not only bring their A-game to the course but bring their hearts to this cause. Their presence, their commitment, and their willingness to stand behind something bigger than themselves is what makes all the difference.

As so powerfully shared, if you tell a colleague you’re overwhelmed with work, they’ll ask how they can help. But if you say you’re struggling mentally or emotionally? The response isn’t always as clear. Not because people don’t care, but because they don’t always know how to.

And that’s why this event matters. Because awareness is just the beginning. True change happens when people take action, when conversations about mental health become as natural as conversations about physical health, and we don’t just acknowledge the struggle, but equip ourselves to support it.

So here’s to the , to every golfer who played with purpose, and to every person who is helping to shift the way we view mental health…one conversation, one action, one moment at a time.

Because when we show up like this? That’s when real change happens.
