Tanya is amazing. She's a great listener. I am inspired by her. Having a non bias person who is non judgemental, respectful, thoughtful and inspiring has reduced my level of anxiety. I am making life changes. She has guided me with resources and useful strategies that have helped me to focus on my goals. It has improved my self esteem in so many ways. I am truly grateful.
