Where did your ideas about life come from? The rules, and ways of coping we are taught, may not be working. I love helping others to find their own road map in life. We will work through different strategies, systems, problem solving, coping skills and find the ones that work best for you and/or your family. Anxiety, depression, ADHD, life struggles, navigating relationships and family conflict are only some of the reasons to reach out for help. You are worth the effort! Let's create our own rules! Take the unmanageable, and make it manageable. How would it feel to thrive instead of just trying to survive?
