I practice psychotherapy like it matters—because it does.
Rooted in research, shaped by culture, guided by story.
Healing isn’t linear. Neither is being human.
I did my thesis on community mental health and burnout, it’s nice to see that others are interested in studying it too. Best of luck.

💬 Bottom line:
A strong safety net protects all of us — not just the vulnerable.
It keeps our schools, clinics, and communities stable.
You don’t need to be on benefits to feel the impact.
This is about protecting our future — together.

🇺🇸 This isn’t just about “them” — it’s about us.
New federal cuts to food and health programs will hurt millions of Americans — including families, veterans, seniors, and children. It’s not a distant issue. It’s coming for our communities

🚨 Don’t be distracted.
This isn’t about “lazy people” or “others.”
It’s about a system that gives billionaires tax breaks while slashing help for working Americans. If we stay silent, we all pay the price when the crisis hits closer to home.

💵 CalFresh isn’t just food — it’s fuel for the local economy.
When families can’t spend at grocery stores, gas stations, and small businesses, the whole economy slows down. Less spending means fewer jobs and more families slipping into poverty.

🍎 Schools and workplaces will feel it too.
• Hungry kids struggle more in class
• Parents without healthcare miss work or show up sick
• Clinics overcrowd
Even if you’re not on benefits, you’ll see the effects in classrooms, businesses, and neighborhoods.

📍 Local impacts:
When people lose coverage, they turn to ERs, food banks, shelters, and county services — all funded by your tax dollars.
It’s more expensive to respond in crisis than it is to prevent one. The ripple effect hits everyone.

💬 This isn’t about “illegals.”
That’s a harmful myth.
Undocumented immigrants don’t qualify for food stamps or full Medi-Cal. These cuts hit American citizens, legal residents, veterans, and children — the people who live and work beside you.

🧃 In the U.S.:
• 40+ million people use food stamps (SNAP)
• 80+ million are on Medicaid
• Most are citizens — kids, the elderly, and the working poor
Trump’s new law adds work rules that don’t reflect real life — part-time jobs, caregiving, or chronic illness.
