You are amazing and brave. It takes courage to join this site and share your experiences with us here on 7CupsofTea. I look forward to learning about you and what you hope to achieve.


I have worked at a residential foster care facility for two years now. I primarily work with teens on improving impulse control and managing difficult emotions. I have experience helping them deal with a myriad of problem areas, including: self-harm, negative self-talk, low self-esteem, anxiety, and poor physical/emotional boundaries. I prefer using, what I refer to as, a "blank slate" approach. I typically ask questions to guide whomever I am speaking with to find an answer that is healthy and realistic specifically for them. I also love using affirmation statements that reflect one's own positive attributes and talents.

I have also struggled with bipolar disorder and generalized anxiety. I am working through those inner demons. I have come a long way, but there is certainly more work to be done.

I am willing to assist both adults and adolescents.

If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
