I am a counselor, and I see how hard it is everyday for my clients and others in my personal life to deal with depression and anxiety. I myself have anxiety, I use holistic approaches to deal with it rather than medication. I plan to blog about what works for me so far as well as coping skills for anyone who can benefit. I am always challenging myself with new adventures, have many hobbies to help me. I play sing and play the guitar in a band. We are called End of Story, we play rock and roll mainly. I run about 20-30 miles a week, this is critical for me. I have a two year old German Shepherd who runs with me and owns me. Recently, I am looking to challenge myself with mountain running. Hiking/backpacking reminds me how small I am. I am raising three teenagers who are pretty outstanding. My husband is my rock, a true music man. He teaches me everyday. Thank you for following.
