You wish you could enjoy life, but it's just not that easy! The loneliness, anger, resentment, and guilt make everything harder and you're in survival mode. You might feel like you've lost your sense of yourself and wonder if you will ever feel like "you" again. The answer is YES! You're not alone. I understand, and I can help. "

I draw from multiple theoretical orientations and view mental wellness from a holistic perspective that includes mind, body, and spirit."
