Selfcare is not selfish. Give yourself permission to place the oxygen mask over your own face first, now breath. Inhale. Exhale. It takes a ton of commendable courage to reach out for a shoulder to lean on. It is perfectly ok to recognize when you are operating on empty. You cannot pour from an empty cup. It is perfectly ok to receive, especially when you are the one who is constantly sacrificing and giving. It is time for you to pour back into yourself. Human beings are not designed to be an island. Give yourself the gift of healing and recovery. I will meet you where you are and help you along your healing and recovery journey.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
