warmth • connection • change
Marina Vaysman (she/her), RCC
I am very passionate about empowering people to become their most authentic selves. I believe each individual has unique traits and abilities, and through uncovering these, we can each contribute positively to our communities and build meaning into our lives. I also recognize that it is in the context of a secure relationship where people feel free to explore and to change.
I operate under the assumption that, in our common humanity, we all want to be accepted, to feel loved, and to know that we matter. Whether you are here to improve your relationship with yourself or with your significant other(s), I am here to help you create that secure connection.
