Knowing you could use someone to talk to is the first step. Reaching out to find someone and make that appointment isn't easy, but it can be a great decision for you and for your well-being. I'm here for it, I'm here for you. I am a mental health counselor who specializes in working with adults and adolescents in the areas of anxiety, depression, trauma and relationships. I lived 14 years in Europe and was a counselor to cross-cultural workers and ex-pats in Europe. I have done substance use prevention and mental health counseling in private and public schools as well.
I can promise a safe space to process whatever you need, you just need to be willing to enter into that process.
