Join Esha and I for a restorative workshop designed for women who do everything for everyone else — and are ready to reclaim peace, presence, and balance before the holidays.

We’ll explore:
💛 Why the holidays can bring the blues and stress
🍽️ How food becomes emotional comfort

Take this time to breathe, reset, and remember — you deserve the same care you give to others.

#HolidayReset #WomenWhoCarryItAll #MindfulLiving #TherapistLedWorkshop #PeacefulConnections

✨ Something beautiful is brewing.

This morning, Esha @blissfulmindtherapy and I met over breakfast to create something special for women who find the holidays more overwhelming than joyful.

We’ll be talking about the real things that tend to stay behind the scenes—
💫 emotional eating
💫 family stress
💫 financial pressure
💫 the invisible load women carry

Because while the holidays sparkle on the surface, they can also stir deep emotions underneath.

11/16/25 at 2pm is the date.
Location? Booked this morning ✨️

Stay tuned for details on our upcoming event—a space to feel supported, seen, and centered this season.

If the holidays tend to feel more heavy than happy, what’s one area you’d love more peace in this year?

Think of me as your mirror and your map. A mirror to help you see what’s really going on....and a map to guide your next steps with clarity and compassion. 🌻

👉 Curious what that feels like in practice? Drop a 🌟 or DM me for the free consultation link. 🌻

That balance?...it's intentional. I believe therapy should feel like sitting down with someone who gets YOU. This is also added on with the skill and sensitivity to gently (or firmly when needed 👀) support you in moving forward. 🌻

Because the truth is healing doesn't happen in perfection. It happens I'm real, raw, and human moments. 🌻

Drop in the comments ONE quality you would want in a therapist?🌻

Did you know: People who attend therapy regularly show higher emotional intelligence and problem-solving skills than those who don’t?

Be honest — what’s one therapy myth you’ve believed before?

Oh the light of connecting with other Therapists who are passionate about healing, growth, and creating safe spaces for our communities served. I had the joy of meeting these amazing clinicians and I tagged them below! ...we all found out about our unique gifts we bring into the field.

As PCCC celebrates 5 years, I am looking forward to expanding into deeper collaborations that serve clients in powerful ways.

When Therapists connect, Clients thrive!

Let's keep building bridges.

Peaceful Connections is turning 5! Five years of helping women & couples find clarity, balance, and connection. This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the 300+ clients who have trusted me, colleagues, and the community. When I started Peaceful Connections in 2020, I had one mission: to create a safe & empowering space. 5 years later, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside so many courageous clients. There is A LOT to breakdown about this milestone. Stay tuned as I will share the story of PCCCS, transformational (anonymous) shifts, what I have learned each year, and insight into what is next!

Every like, every comment, share, recommendation, even every quiet scroll through this page… thank you 🌻
So if you’re reading this, thank you for being here with me 💛

I’d love for you to share:
Drop a 🌻 if you’ve been here since the early days!
Tell me in the comments: What’s one post or topic you’ve loved most so far?

🌻 Guess what?! Your Share Could Be Someone’s First Step Toward Healing 💛

If my practice or content has ever spoken to you, inspired you, or made you feel seen—I’d love for you to share my page with a friend, coworker, or loved one who may be in need. 💬

✨ Why share?
Because those quietly carrying so much—often don’t ask for help.
Because healing shouldn’t be hidden.
Because your voice can lead someone to the support they’ve been searching for.

🔁 Sharing my practice helps:

Help others find safe, holistic, and trauma-informed care
Help others reconnect with themselves
Help others realize they don’t have to do it all alone

💛 Thank you in advance for helping me reach those who are ready to bloom into their best selves.

#BreakTheBurnout #WorthyOfRest #HighAchievingWomen

Permission to rest is radical—and necessary.
Today’s gentle reminder: you don’t need to earn your rest.
#MentalRest #HighAchieverHealing #SelfCareSeason

🌻 High-achieving women are often praised for their drive, but the pressure to constantly perform can lead to exhaustion.
💡 If you feel depleted, overwhelmed, or like you’re running on empty, it’s not just you—burnout is real, and recovery is possible.
✨ Therapy helps you create balance, set boundaries, and reclaim your energy. You don’t have to do this alone.

I currently have openings for anyone ready to start her journey.

🌻 Find Balance, Build Connection, Embrace Joy 🌻
I am for women and couples seeking to break free from perfectionism, overburdened roles, or relationship challenges. I offer a space to reflect, heal, and grow. Together, we’ll cultivate the tools you need to thrive—because you deserve to feel whole, resilient, and connected.

🌟 Let's start your transformation today.

Therapy is about more than solving problems—it’s about discovering the strength and wisdom already within you. Let’s explore your potential and create a path toward the life and relationships you desire.

💬 Share one thing you’ve done recently that makes you proud! :)

According to recent census data, approximately 50% of first marriages end in divorce. Divorce is considered a major life event. Overtimes couples can have decreased marital satisfaction for a number of reasons, but here is the top reason I have observed -- poor communication. Unrealistic expectations, loneliness, and lack of intimacy are other drivers leading to marital distress and conflict. About 8 years ago, I made a decision and commitment to become Gottman certified to support couples in enhancing and rebuilding their communication, which is the foundation of a resilient relationship. I am passionate about facilitating relationships and marriages through conflict as this has a greater impact for their own health, possible children mental health, and other areas of their lives as individuals.

In supporting couples through relationship or marital challenges, rebuilding communication is the FOUNDATION to build safety and trust.

What do you think are aspects of communication that make it effective between partners?

Perfectionism often feels like a badge of honor, but it can also be a heavy burden. In therapy, we create space to explore why you strive for perfection and how to embrace your worth just as you are.

What was the last thing you let go that also gave you relief?

I love these types of surprises.

(Short story) ...I was taking a walk in this beautiful Fall weather among sunflowers (ahhh🌻)...and I am seeking to pluck a few that I can being home to take care of. Well, a bright and beautiful flower caught my attention because in the wind it was holding up very well. So I walk closer to actually grab it and .....🐛. I immediately did the "take out your phone because this is so cool" action move and started this short video. End of story? ... I left the sunflower alone and wished the caterpillar well on it's journey to becoming.

My takeaway -- be the caterpillar. Go towards what supports your journey of becoming your authentic self.

Sometimes a person is closer than they think. So much potential, but so much resistance to open and be who they are called to be within their purpose. Being stuck is simple because it doesn't take any effort to shift. Through my concept of Sunflower therapy, there is a target on the skill or skills to improve your quality of life.

My answer: a person is bold when they put all humanistic thoughts and logic aside in order to fully embrace what is personally pure and true. Sunflowers carry this quality as they stand up strong with their vibrant visibility in order to set them apart, with no hesitations.

Being bold take COURAGE.

What do you think? Drop your answer below:

I appreciate meeting of the wanderer in therapy. Feeling lost?...confused?...worried?...discouraged?...THIS is the state at which there is an opportunity to create your own path and your own next move! Your directions are your decisions. The journey is a ride and the experience of time allows for development into the BLOOM !

Drop a Sunflower if you agree! Let's make a bouquet!

What is that song you listen that IMMEDIATELY lights you UP?!

Whether is excitement, hope, happiness, silliness, or inspiration. Play it today. Drop it below too! I think we could create a Playlist

Oh and please go a Candle Light Concert.

YOU have options about what thoughts to focus on

The point is not to strive for perfection or flawlessness. Just keep addressing the old, outdated, and ineffective behaviors & thoughts in order to get your nervous system balanced.

This is where I can come in :)

For me sunflowers is a good reminder to keep going, steady & consistent, with faith in myself.

Text 813 922 2400 to schedule a free 15 min consultation

Here is how you you can *shine* this Spring.

Shining on the outside also comes within shining from the inside first. :)

Be what you want to attract. I have some easy tips on how to shine. Which is your favorite?

Smile!
Tell a family member why you love him or her.
Give a sincere compliment.
Visit someone who may be lonely
Eat lunch with someone who needs a friend.
Text a friend and share what you like about him or her.
Teach someone about family history.
Be aware of how others could use your help, and act on promptings to serve.
Share a good, motivating message through social media
Give a friend or family member a call just to say hello.
Do an extra chore around the house.

Finding your light is my supportive goal for you in therapy.

It's reconnecting with—or discovering for the first time—what gives meaning and purpose to your life.

Springtime is coming which is the most ideal for being in bloom!
Blooming is stepping out, stepping into, and walking as your authentic self. :)

Did you know leisure activities offer a distraction from problems, and provide a sense of confidence to problem solve? Joy is also cultivated :) Grace is the space to "try it out" without any judgement. Not to strive for perfection.

What are your favorite leisure activities?

Crying expressed as tears is an emotional release and purification process.

Tears are a way of purging negative emotions and promoting emotional resolution.

In my therapy setting, I create a safe space in order for release to not only be possible but comfortable. Sometimes there are no words, only tears...and that is just fine.

Hi Sunflower!

I can't believe it has been TWO years since I have placed an intro out in this atmosphere! First thing to share about me, I am still learning the social media thing, which is why I operate as a therapist - real, meaningful, authentic exchange to place you on the path intended.

Many reasons and/or algorithms could have brought you here BUT I can say, by clicking the button to stay connected you will have access to posts that are intentional and intuitive, while being all about the interconnectedness and relationship of mental health, mindfulness, wellness, and spirituality.

All in all, this is a platform you can expect to find restoration.

I align my therapy to women seeking navigation through family and relationship obligations/difficulties, perfectionism, trauma, family wounds, comparison mindset flipping, grief, and self-discovery. I also provide therapy to couples seeking conflict resolution and ultimate decisions about their relationship. I consider myself a unique therapist as I open my empathic and intuitive instincts to absorb vibes and energy on a high frequency. This has been extremely helpful to feel individual and collective shifts which equips me as to always be apart of clients worldview and perspective.

I am holistic and organic in all aspects of life, so in a session I will use concepts such as the sun and earthing as self-care methods. My personality label is an Ennegram 6 which means I am the committed and security-oriented type. Per description, sixes are reliable, hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy. I associate with sunflowers....alot. :) I reference sunflowers symbolically because they always reach for the light. They are bold and the tallest flower. They have the longest journey, yet the most reliant journey, and the most authentic bloom.

**Website posted in comments, FB about, and IG bio**

Stay, scroll, share, vibe, comment. Welcome again :)

A common theme within any relationship is the difficulty with saying "no." Most of the time, the hesitation is fear of losing acceptance, or perhaps a habit of people pleasing. Either way, saying "no" is a learning experience for the person you are seeking to communicate with.

Benefits for you:
Gain self-confidence and self-esteem.
Understand and recognize your feelings.
Earn respect
Improve communication.
Improve your decision-making skills.
Create honest relationships.

When is the last time you LAUGHED?

One sure strategy to decrease or eliminate stress is laughing. Seriously, there is a self care strategy that is termed "opposite behavior" that entails finding a way to laugh. What is that noun for you?

For me, it is a 90s sitcom....any Martin or Fresh Prince fans?..!...?

Feel free to drop a laughing emoji when you found your noun!

Here are some other benefits of laughing:
*lowers blood pressue
*reduces stress hormones
*works out the abs
*boosts the immune
*relieves pain
*improved mood

Scratch this from your mental notes:

🚩She completes me
🚩He completes me
🚩They complete

Note this instead:
"I am whole. She/He/They contribute to my life in the most meaningful way."

It is much, much less complicated to validate the self, rather than experience disappointment pulling from others what is already inside of YOU.🌟
