Sheila

Sheila was my therapist for two years. She was our entire family’s therapist. From 2016 to 2019, all four of us had gone to her at different times for different reasons. She helped my family through one of our darkest seasons. She wasn’t the first therapist I had, but she has certainly been the one …

Rooted

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I mostly blame that on the fact I haven’t had a well working computer in seven months. (I do now though. Thank you, stimulus check!)
