Are you feeling depressed or anxious? It may not be easy to find someone you trust. I have created a safe and empathetic environment where you can learn some new coping strategies, and how to let go of unhealthy relationship patterns. One of the reasons it may be hard to let go is because of past trauma. Research has found the longer trauma, depression and anxiety go untreated the worse it will get. I practice from the heart and with empathy. You can learn to put yourself first. I don't mean this in a selfish way. You can create balance in your life, have fun and have healthy relationships. You can also learn healthy self-care.
