After working with her for a little over a year I have seen so many positive changes happen in my life. Being able to get to the root of my fears, understanding the effects of past traumas, and identifying the negative patterns I've indulged in has allowed me to shed the anxiety I was dealing with. I have moved past insecurities that were attached to fears and perspectives that I didn't know I had. Evelynann created an environment that allowed me to be vulnerable, honest, and open to change. Her holistic approach to dealing with my issues is what attracted me to her and it is what keeps me as a client of hers. She is amazing at getting to the core of the issue and making suggestions that encourage you to move forward but at your own pace.
