Misty is warm and empathetic. She really listens. She is easy to talk to and makes you feel as if everything will be okay.

I’ve seen Misty for a month and I already feel a meaningful shift taking place. One of the things I appreciate most about her approach is how grounded and empowering it is. She helps me bring my struggles into the room, sort through them, and figure out what’s truly mine to carry—and what I can give back to others. She doesn’t try to fix everything for me—she walks beside me while I learn how to do that for myself. It’s only been a short time, but I can already feel the difference.
