Life changing

Written on Apr 12, 2024 after therapy with Wayne for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes

Working with Wayne has done more good for me than I can properly explain. His balance of support, accountability, and expertise have been immensely helpful.

Wayne is an absolute gem. Since beginning with him 2 months ago my life has taken a complete turn for the better. My self confidence, mental and physical health and overall life has become a beautiful adventure. I’ve recommended his care to several close friends and would recommend him to anyone who is seeking therapy. Wayne will likely be invited to my wedding!
