About My Clients
My clients have gotten to a point where they are ready for support and something to change. Change can be scary, so my clients are brave to step into this. Especially when big challenges of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or shame are involved. My clients are often seeking to embody their most authentic selves; this may include exploring gender identity or sexuality. I hold so much respect, admiration and gratitude for my clients to allow me to walk alongside them on their healing journey.
