Many of us as children are not taught how to manage or healthfully express our feelings, let alone experience our emotions being heard and validated by others. As adults, we may then have difficulties navigating relationships, coping with life stressors, and struggling with low self esteem. Whether you are an adult that had big feelings as a child and it seemed no one cared, or you care for a child that has big feelings and want to set them up on the path of successfully managing their mental health, I am here to support you and your needs. No matter who you are, or what you have been through, your feelings are always valid.
