About My Clients
My clients want to connect to others but are afraid. They've learned in childhood that even those that are supposed to love you don't treat you well. Yet their deepest desires are to be seen, heard, and accepted. My clients often carry shame or guilt, but have the desire to move forward and live a fulfilled life, but feel stunted, stuck, or frustrated. Does any of this sound or feel familiar? Great news: it doesn't have to be this way. Reach out to me! Together, let’s create a path forward.
