I work with people who are struggling to find acceptance and space for themself in a world not built with them in mind- often people who are queer, poly, neurodiverse or refusing to be bound by fundamentalism or lifeless convention. We'll explore YOUR values and how they might conflict with your upbringing, your community or even your own needs on the way to building a space for your whole self.
