Toxic thinking patterns, behaviors and relationships can manifest in various forms and significantly impact mental health and overall well-being.

Helping someone to feel comfortable and safe discussing whatever they are struggling with is my highest priority. The decision to talk to a professional about personal problems is often difficult and frightening. However, the way I see it is that we all encounter challenges that may be beyond our ablity to handle well alone at some points in our lives. Having the courage to ask for help is really a strength rather than a weakness.
People who come to me for help say I am easy to talk to and provide them with the chance to develop a healthy perspective.

Grief can feel overwhelming. Shock, disbelief, anger, guilt, and deep sadness are all normal reactions. You might feel physical symptoms. Sleep and appetite are often affected. Mentally you might feel confused, disoriented or forgetful. Grief can make you feel lost and out of control. Grief and loss are experienced for many reasons. Death is only one.
