It's not what you thought it would be, and that's okay. Life transitions are hard. As much as we try to prepare ourselves, we can never be fully prepared. However, we can work together to help you embrace the changes and learn to navigate life with a new fresh perspective. And who knows, you might just find that the changes or life transitions you experienced, creates a better version of yourself. I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional. I also have an extensive background working with children, adolescents and young adults.

Have bipolar disorder? Do you wonder about bipolar disorder? I witnessed first-hand my sister-in-law suffer a manic episode with her bipolar disorder, and so I saw how distressing and painful this illness can be for folks and for their families. People with this disorder and their families touch my heart. Relieving this suffering and finding the right tools and approach to help people feel stable in their lives, find their voice and vision and recover joy back into their life. I found that families also need perspective, support and guidance until recovery has been found. People can recover and seeing this is my greatest joy.

This sense of loss feels like an old story - even if you're not sure what's been lost. But in those moments when you dare to be still, you feel the gnawing in your soul. It's easier to just keep busy to escape the emptiness inside. It's possible to go on like this for a very long time. And many people do. You may even have been among the more successful ones. But now something has happened that exposed old wounds and vulnerabilities, and the pain is even harder to ignore. Despite your best efforts, anxiety and depression are getting the better of you, and relational hurts cut deeply. You feel so alone.
