Thanks so much for welcoming me I Truly appreciate being apart of this amazing University looking forward to learning and growing in this community.💞

Thank you so much for welcoming me into this group. I’m truly grateful to be here I noticed the title says “Relationship & Life Counselor.” For me, the “relationship” part isn’t really about dating. Right now, I’m much more interested in learning how to build healthy relationships with people in general. Before I was in an abusive relationship, I was a vibrant, outgoing, confident woman. I was always a go-getter—the type of person who loved helping, serving, leading, and getting things done. That abusive relationship completely shut me down mentally, emotionally, and even physically. It took me to one of the lowest points of my life and left me disconnected from the woman I used to be. Since stepping back into life and socializing again—mostly through my church, but outside of church as well—I’ve realized that the old me is slowly coming back. With that has come both my strengths and some areas I still need to grow in. If I feel safe and comfortable with someone—which honestly isn’t very often—I tend to overshare. I also sometimes misread situations and assume people are against me when they really aren’t. I’ve also noticed that my go-getter personality has returned. When I’m passionate about something, I tend to jump in feet first, take charge, and get things done. I don’t easily see obstacles—I see solutions. While that determination has helped me through many seasons of life, I’m learning that healthy boundaries and knowing when to step back are just as important as knowing when to step forward. I’m here because I want to continue growing. I hope to learn from all of you, and I hope you’ll welcome me just as I am while I continue becoming the woman God created me to be. Thank you again for allowing me to be part of this community.
