Billie Sankey she/her RCC
Hi! I’m Billie (she/her) and I believe in creating a safe and trusting environment for you above all else–where you can explore your true self, gain insights, and work towards positive change in your life. My personalized approach is centered around the choices we each make in our day to day lives to meet our unique needs and wants. We are all influenced by our values, beliefs, relationships, and societal pressures–so, when we are able to reflect on our intentions, we can better understand what is within our control and what is external to our control.
I want nothing more than to provide you with a nonjudgemental, and affirming space to walk together towards your ideal life.
