Breathe, keep breathing," Thom Yorke. Life can make breathing feel like a struggle, something that used to bring you pleasure, now is void of feeling, and there seems to be no hope. It is okay not to be okay; there is nothing wrong with you. With my thirst for learning , we can explore CBT, DBT modalities with mindfulness tools to see what will work for you. I am a Sex Therapy Practitioner, with certification in ADHD, Autism, Suicidal Ideations, Addictions, and many more areas of interest and study.
You will be in a non-judgmental , caring, empathetic, open, supportive, accepting environment , where I will listen and offer a soft place to share.
