Message to clients

It's so valuable to find someone who really listens to your deepest longings and feelings and doesn't judge, but instead invites you to attune to your true self and become more fully who you were meant to be. We'll set aside an hour a week (more or less frequently as needed) to create a space for you slow talk freely and to identify and discuss your feelings, patterns and authenticity in relationships, life transitions, identity development, work/life balance, your vocational calling, spirituality, etc. I'll work with you to set goals, and we'll continue to evaluate your progress toward goals and set new ones, if you'd like. I look forward to talking with you!
