Normalize: not knowing right away. Saying “I’ll get back to you on that” and allowing time to reflect before making a decision.

Always love embracing my hobbies as part of self-care. And I’m super excited to have joined Encore Vocal Ensemble! Happy to be back to singing in a choir, and especially one that loves musical theatre as much as I do! ❤️

So proud of this future social worker! Congrats to Itzel for getting accepted to grad school :)

Work-life balance is so important. I make an effort to schedule in things I love each day after work. Wednesday? Tap cardio. Thursday? Beach sunset picnic with friends. Let’s see what today has in store :) What can you plan for yourself today?

Today’s self care included a loooong beach walk with my lovely coworker, Mena Temesgen! Now onto a day full of taxes, budget planning, laundry, etc. Happy Saturday!

Yesterday at work we wore blue for Child Abuse Prevention Month 💙

Today I was working with a teen client on a relapse prevention plan and she said to me: “You’d be a really good school counselor.” Funny you say that… cuz I am a school counselor.🥲 In moments like those I feel validated in my career choice— can’t wait to get back in schools!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all of the incredible teachers and educators out there! Your hard work does not go unnoticed 💜

I’m now realizing that there’s some disagreement on when teacher appreciation week is this year 😅 So happy teacher appreciation week to those of you celebrating this week!!!

Happy summer :) How are we taking care of ourselves this summer!?
