☕✨ Reflecting on an inspiring morning with our MHCCF community! ✨🥞

We had such a wonderful time at the Mental Health Counselors of Central Florida (MHCCF) End-of-Year Breakfast—celebrating a year of connection, collaboration, and collective growth in our field.

As MHCCF’s Social & Special Events Chair, I was honored to see the Creative Connections series' success grow this year. What started as a vision to bring mental health professionals together for wellness and creativity has grown into a meaningful community of connection. 💙

Grateful for the MHCCF Board, members, and all who made this year possible—and looking forward to continuing the mission of supporting, connecting, and empowering Central Florida’s counseling community in 2026!

💛 We were so grateful to partner with UCF Victim Services this past week to offer a trauma-informed training on:

“Staying Well While Working High-Trauma Caseloads.”

This presentation was created for advocates, clinicians, and frontline professionals who are navigating the emotional impact of crisis response work—day in and day out.

🌿 Together, we explored:
• How to recognize burnout and secondary traumatic stress
• How to integrate micro-breaks, grounding, and self-compassion into the workday
• Why your nervous system matters just as much as your caseload

To the UCF team: thank you for showing up, being open, and doing the work within while continuing to support others.

📣 If your agency or nonprofit needs a training like this—whether in the wake of a crisis or to invest in long-term staff wellness—we’d love to support your team.

🎨 Surrealism & Surviving the Unimaginable

When the unimaginable happens, life can feel… surreal.

Things that once made sense seem out of place. The world feels unfamiliar. Even ordinary moments can look different.

And yet, just like in surrealist art, there can be strength—and even beauty—in learning to live among those changes.

Recovery isn’t about making everything look the way it once did. It’s about finding ways to move forward, even when things feel out of order.

💬 If life feels surreal right now, you’re not alone.
