What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In my first session you can ask questions about me or not and then we will get right into it. You will know in the first session whether we are a good fit. I don't like a lot of paoerwork.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel that my empathy and life experience and even after 25 years I still enjoy helping others.
