I am an Australian qualified social worker living in the US since 2015. I spent most of my career in child welfare and family support roles before getting licensed. Just like you i've been on a journey of emotional and spiritual growth, and I have the ability to deeply empathize with how someone is thinking and feeling. It all starts with the mind and heart. If we are wanting to see changes in our lives, we must shift our focus from the outside world to the inside one. I know you can make the necessary changes to create the relationships and life you desire.
