I feel my greatest strength as a provider is my easy going, down to earth, personable personality and attitude. Knowing how to treat others is something that I have been blessed with. It can't be taught.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
If you have been experiencing anxious thoughts like overthinking or "what if" thoughts causing you to feel fearful, stuck, or even unproductive in life I can assist you with understanding your anxiety and using it to your benefit to help you thrive in life. If you are having difficulty enjoying life due to issues that still affect you from your past or you have negative thoughts about yourself causing you to become stuck in life with little hope for your future, I can help you resolve those past issues, build more confidence and self-esteem within yourself and help you find light to help brighten up your life again.
