Let's talk about mental health in bite-size chunks, not just as a therapist but as a person. I'm here to share what has been helpful to my clients (and me!) on a journey to living our best lives. Topics I talk about in session, insights about therapy, and tools to use in everyday life in five minutes or less. I'm glad you're here :) In case you're curious: I am an introvert (INFJ), a lover of chocolate, a good book, and fluffy animals! Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/confessionsofaco ...
