I love to dance & teach my own choreography, play piano & sing, and listen to music– my favorite singers are Banks and Billy Joel! I enjoy physical fitness and wellness and love lifting weights and living an active and healthy lifestyle. I have a Bachelor's of Science in Communication Disorders and am currently in a doctoral program studying Clinical Audiology, however I will NOT diagnose medical issues or provide medical advice. I would love to hear your story and get to know you, and I promise to create a safe, judgment-free space in all of our chat sessions.
✧ Topics I Will Discuss ✧
While I am open to discuss a wide range of topics, I specialize in relationship & family stress (LGBT+ friendly), chronic pain, student life, and fitness related situations (eating disorders, weight management, etc). I'm also open to casual chats if you just need a person to talk to. Feel free to take a look at the other topics I will discuss below!
✧ Topics I Won't Discuss ✧
I do not discuss parenting, religion, or spirituality. While these are not topics that make me uncomfortable, they are areas that I am unfamiliar with and I do not feel as if I'll be able to provide adequate support for you. If you are looking for support for these topics, please click here to browse other listeners.
Please note that while I do not discuss the aforementioned topics, my profile is inclusive to all and I will not judge nor discriminate no matter your age, gender identity, sexuality, religion, race, or current state of mental/physical/emotional wellbeing.
✧ Hours of Availability ✧
I am in the Eastern Standard Time Zone (GMT-5). I tend to be most active from around 12pm to 8pm EST, but I am typically online at random times throughout the day. My response time is generally between 1-12 hours, but could be shorter or longer depending on the time of day you message me. I am typically less active on weekends as those are days for me to catch up on other responsibilities. If you message me on a weekend, please do not be surprised if you do not get a response until Monday.
New Chats: please note that I am most likely to get back to you when I am online, but feel free to message me at any time and I will reply as promptly as I can. If I am offline or busy, you can still send me a message and I will reply at my earliest available time. However, please keep in mind that as a site leader I get a lot of messages and will reply to the most urgent messages first. If you send me only a "hi" or a "hello there" you may not get a reply from me. Please specify in your message what you would like to discuss so we can get off to a faster start.
If you appreciate our conversation, please let me know in a review! Not only does it help me work on my skills as a listener, but it helps others know that they are in good hands if they decide to reach out to me!

Thank you for visiting my profile, I look forward to getting to know you! #wegrowwith7cups
