*I AM ACCEPTING NEW ONLINE CLIENTS* So much about our current circumstances is out of our control. We've been placed in situations we did not expect nor plan for. As a result, our levels of anxiety, depression, and disconnect from ourselves and each other may be higher than they have ever been before. Not only can these events affect us as individuals, they can also cause stress to our relationships with our significant others, children, and extended family. I want you to know that I am here to help in these stressful times.
