Are you dealing with some big changes in your life? Or, have you experienced something scary and upsetting? Are you feeling weighed down by your past and unable to move forward?

I have often been described as calming, attentive, compassionate and easy to talk to.

Being vulnerable enough to allow both yourself and others to love you is hard, but also the birthplace of fulfillment, compassion, and empathy.
