Hello! I'm glad you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I'm a trained active listener and I have personal experience with and like to support people struggling with relationship difficulties, verbal/ emotional abuse, substance abuse, eating disorders, self-harm, Autism Spectrum Disorders/ Aspergers, anxiety, depression, and issues related to family and child-rearing. I enjoy spending time outdoors, writing, and playing with my children. I've overcome a lot in life and would like to help by listening to you. I have personal, first hand understanding of just how emotionally helpful it can be to have someone who is willing to listen and offer compassion, kindness, and support. Life is not easy, and no one is perfect, but often times, just having someone lend an ear can assist us in surmounting the inevitable challenges we all face from time to time. If I'm online, then please feel free to start a chat. If I'm offline, then send me a message and we can set up a time to connect. Glad you are here!
