I hope Kamala Harris has a big bag of popcorn as she watches karma unfold. We shall call it "Karmala".

As someone who is 5'1, I will be using this. LOL

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

This 14-year old child is so very wise and is advocating for other children like herself against systems that should know better. Please take a listen and share with anyone who needs a reality check.

Is it because he learned how to spell "War", but can't handle "defense".

A purple flower stretches upward, growing from a crack in the sidewalk concrete

Like a stubborn bloom
Living in cracks of concrete
You cannot kill hope.

This is what we call gaslighting and lying. πŸ™„

Fun fact- Butterflies rest when it rains to protect their wings from getting injured. This shows us that it is okay to rest during the storms of our life. Resting can be exactly what is needed to reemerge strong and fly again once the storm has cleared.

As someone who is 5'1, I take issue with this. Can I wear tall shoes to compensate?

Thank you to the brave individuals who have given so much in service. Their courage and sacrifice deserve not only our gratitude, but our ongoing commitment to their wellbeing. Access to mental health care is essential for those who’ve carried the weight of service long after returning home. β€οΈπŸ€πŸ’™

See?! When your therapist asks you to meditate, this is why. Stop fighting us on this and just πŸ‘ do πŸ‘ it. πŸ˜œπŸ˜‚

Absolutely horrifying. Those with a dark need to have power OVER others and use violence as a means to do so have no business having any authority.

Full moons can stir up all kinds of energy and life can feel just a bit more chaotic. This view from the STRAT in Las Vegas reminds us that taking a pause can help us gain a different perspective and find peace, calm, and beauty amongst the noise. #STRAT #LasVegas #FullMoon #MentalHealth

Beautiful things can happen when we use our voices to vote for the change we want and need. Every vote, every conversation, and every action towards a better world makes a difference- especially when it restores HOPE. πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™

Hopelessness is one of the biggest risk factors when it comes to mental health, and last night HOPE was restored. What a lovely day. πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™

Sometimes fun and whimsy come from the most unexpected places, like this plush capybara in a bowl of tiny resin friends with a handmade clay top hat. This gift from my son is a reminder that joy just shows up in the small, wonderfully random moments.

SkyJump at the STRAT in Las Vegas reminds us that leaps of faith don’t have to mean blind free falls.

With the right supports like connection, care, and grounding, we can take big risks knowing we’re going to land softly. Growth and true change happens when courage meets support. 🌀️

Halloween reminds us that we can face our fears and sometimes even have fun with them while eating some candy. πŸ‘» Whether you’re dressing up, cozying in, or handing out candy, take a moment to honor your inner child tonight. They deserve joy, magic, and a little mischief. Be safe. Happy Halloween!

Yes, this is what we call a "pattern". He seems to have a pattern of stealing things that were not his to claim.

Wishing you Halloween fun and festivities! It's the only time of year you are allowed to wear a mask without your therapist giving you a hard time about it. Enjoy!!! πŸ€£πŸ‘»πŸŽƒ

As a psychologist, this is impacting my clients and limits their access to mental health care. My clients and all the mental health professionals trying to care for their communities deserve better.

Awwww... This is heartbreaking. I like the sense of humor, but also very heartbreaking.

Henry the therapy dog is back in the office providing comfort, connection, and a little bit of Halloween spirit. πŸΎπŸ’€

Research shows that therapy animals can lower stress and help clients feel more at ease. Henry takes his job very seriously (even in costume). #Henry #therapydog #shihtzu

Showing up for justice is powerful and it can also take a lot out of you. If you attended a #NoKings event today, give yourself permission to rest and restore this evening. You earned it.
