How are you holding up?

Are you tired of lines at stores? Tired of your children wanting to be entertained? Are you near tears and don’t know why? Or have you found a renewed sense of purpose? Do you feel like this mandatory “Coronacation” (as my friend Sarah calls it) is exactly what you need right now?

I’ve recently felt a new sense of purpose and responsibility to my community. While I’m so annoyed that I can’t walk through whichever door I’d like at the grocery store, I also feel compassion for myself that I’m so annoyed, and compassion for the other annoyed and perhaps even frightened people around me.

And so I’m offering free or low cost support for you. I would love to speak with you individually or in a group. I have Zoom meetings I can create and individual 15 minute appointments via a HIPAA compliant service if that’s more your style. As a therapist licensed in California I have many legal and ethical considerations and I am working right now to juggle the ethics of providing service to a world in need, and keeping my license in good standing. I’m saying this because I won’t be able to offer “therapy services” if you’re not my client. But, as a trained and experienced therapist, I can provide a listening ear, support, creative problem solving and compassion. Basically - I can be your neutral friend with a fancy degree.

I’ll be posting a sign up list for Tuesdays between 10am & 6pm PST from March 24 until April 22, 2020. During that block I’ll offer a few group gatherings as well, and if you sign up for that, I’ll send you an email link and you can join easily using Zoom.

Please post positive comments if you feel inclined. I’d love to hear how you are managing and I firmly believe that positivity and gratitude are healing, so let’s help each other!
