IF YOU ARE MY CLIENT
You will find I am straightforward. However, I will not suddenly think I am an authority on your life. I appreciate the collaboration that comes from an honest hardworking relationship with people who are courageous enough to look at themselves and their relationships with fresh eyes and open hearts. I am honored to be a resource, guide, and compassionate questioner. It can be uncomfortable, but having done my own work, I believe the saying "the unexamined life is not worth living."
