When life becomes overwhelming, our emotions become difficult to navigate. Have you been feeling emotionally overwhelmed? Are you feeling unsettled with changes that you may be facing? You don't know what to do first, because you feel there is too much to do all at once. You just want to escape, but you're unsure of how to help yourself. Maybe you're engaging in destructive behaviors to fill the void. You just want to feel better and be "normal". Keeping these emotions bottled up creates a sense of loneliness. I'm here to tell you that you are not alone. This is actually very common and there is help.

My name is Irene Dashiell, I’m a therapist and I have Cerebral Palsy. As a person with a disability I know firsthand what it feels like to be different and how it feels to be treated differently by other people. And that is why I work with kids, teens and young adults who have physical disabilities, ADD/ADHD, autism and anxiety. So I understand why on Monday mornings you push the snooze button five times and don’t want to get out of bed. As a parent or an adult you just feel exhausted, overwhelmed and don’t want to start another week. You just want to wave a magic wand and have a typical life, but that is not your life!
