What would you do when you are not afraid anymore?

What does your life look like when you can feel joy again?

People around you tell you to stop worrying or stop feeling sad. Even YOU wish you can just stop the worries and sadness.  You may beat yourself up for not able to stop how you feel. This may make you feel alone because nobody understands you.

You are not alone and you don’t have to beat yourself up. I have been there and I want to help.

Together, let’s kick sadness, over-worrying, and toxic relationships to the curb and help you regain confidence, laughters, optimism, & deeper lasting relationships!

How We’ve Helped…

My mommy is less stressed and happy now.

“My mommy is loving woman. She is more active and improved now. She used to yell and never laugh, now she makes projects and watches movies with me now. She is less stressed and happy.”

—M.M. (9yo daughter of a 38yo client)

You make me feel really comfortable.

“My father died 19 years and I did not want to talk about this with anyone. You make me feel really comfortable and thank you for helping me process his passing. I am now able to put his pictures up on my wall and watch some of the old videos of him. Our family can finally celebrate holidays again with new tradition, and this after 19 years of not celebrating!”

—M.H.

Mabel is warm, caring and very professional.

“I came in because I had some in-law issues to deal with. My in-laws are very difficult people and Mabel helped me cope with the stress and find ways to deal with their antics. Mabel is warm, caring and very professional. I highly recommend counseling with Mabel.”

I have learn a lot of in how to set healthy boundaries, maintain a parental relationship with him where my kids can benefit.
