Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
I have been through many challenges in my life, which enables me to connect with clients on a deeper level. I am not a blank slate, but someone who will disclose information in order for clients to not feel alone. Everyone struggles with something, and it is not my job to be the expert in the room, but collaborate with clients to find solution, coping tools, and support.
