I have worked in the therapy and counseling profession for over 30 years and I have supported individuals from every sphere of life. I know the hurts and pains of life experiences and the feelings of loneliness and disappointments that come along with them. I have interfaced with adolescents who rebelled against authority, divorce and separation issues, single parenting, depression, and anxiety just to name a few. Now presently, during these times of uncertainty, many are experiencing loss of wages loss of loved ones, and isolation issues. Many who are in these circumstances feel hopeless, overwhelmed, and alone but they are not.
