I am so much more because of her dedication to my growth.
Gwenn truly understands her clients and gives them the tools to be their best self.
Gwenn has worked with me for the past several years. Her wisdom, eloquence, and patience have been integral in guiding me through various life issues – family strife, romantic endeavors, job changes, and even the pandemic. Furthermore, she has helped me reach an appreciation for my own way of being and experiencing the world. Gwenn truly understands her clients and gives them the tools to be their best self.
I will forever be grateful for our work together.
“I have sought out Gwenn time and time again as I have navigated different life events: dating, marriage, having children, parenting, career concerns, self-care, and navigating relationships with aging parents. In each instance, Gwenn was a trusted guide. She helped me to clearly see barriers, boundaries, or limitations that I was butting up against, assisted me in identifying my own feelings and struggles within each situation, and provided me with support and guidance as I found solutions or accepted harsh realities. This work has helped me to create a life full of meaning, purpose, and connection. I will forever be grateful for our work together.”
Gwenn’s ability to listen deeply and extrapolate relevant tidbits from our conversations have helped me understand the source of my pain, steps to resolve it and move forward in my life/career.
. . . I was again struck by her ability to listen and cut through the noise to get to the heart of the issue.
“I first worked with Gwenn 30 years ago when I was struggling with what I considered several unrelated issues. She listened and responded that I had just one: me. I hated myself. Thanks to my work with Gwenn, I was able to reduce my ever-present anxiety and take small steps to become happier. When the universe brought me back into her orbit 20 years later, I was again struck by her ability to listen and cut through the noise to get to the heart of the issue. Gwenn is kind, insightful, patient and wise, and I highly recommend her.”
. . . Gwenn’s guidance is refreshing, as she utilizes her career in mental health to identify your blind spots and needed areas of focus.
“Working with Gwenn since 2016, the greatest gift that Gwenn gives is to allow you to reach your own epiphanies. In my continual interpersonal development, Gwenn’s guidance is refreshing, as she utilizes her career in mental health to identify your blind spots and needed areas of focus. Take, for example, every athletic great, be it the Olympics or professional sports. Every athlete is at the top of their game, yet they all have coaches to help them keep their edge and improve their game. I engage with Gwenn the very same way, to improve my game in my career, in my life, as she guides me to climb my own mountains to reach those peaks of epiphanies.”
She is imaginative and caring, while also posing tougher questions and challenges along the way.

She has helped me face myself and holds me accountable to plans and goals that I’ve set.

I’ve been challenged to take risks safely through her guidance, say no to distractions that don’t serve me, and define my values. This has opened up a new freedom in the studio that feels lighter and has allowed me to play once again. I feel so much more clear in what I am making that I feel inspired in a new way. I am very grateful.”
