Expertise
Hi, I have suffered through years of depression and the many disorders that come with it. It is a very scary experience and hard at times to get through the day. But I have now gotten to the other side of the pain and found hope and courage and life. I want to be a person you can feel comfortable talking to, and in talking with me that you can feel at ease knowing that I have been there and I do understand. I want to be a friend and listen and I will do my very best to ease the feelings you feel and help you in your journey to a better happier life. You are not alone and I would love to be there to help you fight.

Experience
My greatest accomplishment is knowing that I have been there and today, I'm here to help others in their healing. The biggest accomplishment lies in those who write for help in so doing they are taking a huge step in their healing! I am currently a student in Psychology, and have been certified in Crisis prevention since 2001.
