** My goal during our chats is to be a compassionate, open listener to all those who need a shoulder to lean on. While I am unable to give advice, I will always do my best to meet you where you are at the time. Our chats are a space for you to feel safe and heard.

** I do not have specific hours on which I am available, but you can follow these general rules:

• Green (Available): I am online and taking specific/general requests. 
• Busy/Away (Yellow): I am not available to take specific requests but will often be available for general chat requests.
• Offline (Red): I am not available to take any type of chats, so I would encourage you to reach out to an available Listener or to put a general request in, and an available Listener will take your request.

** I DO NOT discuss the following topics: Addiction, Alcohol/Drug Abuse, Relationship Advice, Exercise, Parenting

** I have direct experience with the following topics:

• Anxiety
• Chronic Pain
• Work Stress
• Disabilities
