People often casually ask us the question, "How are you?". This usually made me feel very uncomfortable and in my head I would think, "Not well, not happy, not ok".
But I would smile and reply, "Fine thanks. How are you?"
I felt anxious, alone, and most times sad. I couldn’t remember that last time I had truly laughed.
That was during a difficult time in my life. I felt lost. There was little meaning or purpose. My life lacked passion and definitely a sense of joy. I didn't understand why I felt this way.
At the beginning of that year, my father had passed away. Our relationship was difficult and estranged. I guessed I was left with unresolved issues about him but wasn't able to think about them.
In truth, I was grieving.
My unhappiness finally pushed me to talk about these feelings with somebody I trusted and who had experience in counseling.
That person helped me talk about my feelings and gave me practical skills to make some changes.
They encouraged me and believed in me.
This support strengthened me and I decided to make changes.
I quit my job to pursue the profession that I loved - counseling. I stopped standing at the edge of living and jumped into a life of connection, learning, and fun.
That's when everything shifted positively for me.
I no longer felt stuck, fearful or unhappy. I was excited by my life and my future.
Following my passion, I have created a space where I help others feel strong enough to make changes in their lives that moved them forward.
I am excited to help others overcome their fear, anxiety, sadness, and grief and find their path to having passion in their lives.
My life experience and training as a therapist has directly led to my success in guiding women to manage powerful emotions and find their own unique path to the life they want to live.
Sometimes we need someone to help us. I am here to help you move forward and make a change today.
