Ausha is attentive and understanding, she listens and offers solutions. She asks the questions I’m afraid to ask. She is amazing!

Ausha makes you feel comfortable without barriers. I felt seen in all of my conversations with her so far. She is very proficient in helping me organize my thoughts when I feel like I am rambling so that we can revisit them later in the session.
