Populations I really enjoy working with are youth (ages 13+) and young adults.

1 weekly spot May - You are FRIED. Fueled on little but persistence and caffeine you keep pushing yourself forward. Yet, there’s a voice inside saying "I can’t keep doing this." You’re convinced it must be something about you – you aren’t good enough. What really sucks is you’re smart – like really smart, so it seems logical that you should be able to figure this out on your own. But you can’t think your way out of exhaustion. The positive affirmations feel like toxic positivity. Validation, empathy, and commiserating only get you so far. And some people still don't even get it. You need something more.
