Accepting new clients: Life presents many challenges and everyone struggles at some point with mental health issues. Whether the struggle is a result of a loss (loved one, job, etc), divorce, depression (perimenopause), or feelings of being overwhelmed, we are impacted and it throws us off course. Many times, we tell ourselves, it’s ok, it’ll get better soon. However, the struggle continues and relief does not come. We may sink deeper into the issue and feel worse or ashamed. If you feel like this speaks to you, let’s connect. I can help you navigate these thoughts and feelings so you experience relief. You are not alone.
