Vision loss may be one of the most vulnerable experiences in your life.
You deserve to have your concerns listened to and to feel understood. I believe that's where healing begins.
Individualized low vision support can be a game-changer in helping you to navigate overwhelm or feeling alone.
In addition to my professional expertise, my personal experiences with grief, loss, and health issues have expanded my compassion, empathy, and respect for the challenges of vision loss; they have made me a companion on the paths of inner healing.
I would feel honored to work with you.
