Too often we find ourselves stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior, especially when we're wrapped up in emotions like shame, irritability, and loneliness. Sometimes we feel like no one understands us and unfortunately, too often we get stuck acting in ways that keep us trapped and limits us to practicing self-criticism and self-hate. People often believe that these sorts of problems are difficult to change but it doesn’t have to be this way. I am practiced in supporting the well-being of people who had imperfect childhoods, others that battle sadness and depression, and those that feel challenged by overwhelming emotions.
