1. EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE
Nothing is as amazing as the moment realization dawns on someone that they can have a very different future than the past they came from. Anna loves seeing people’s faces light up when they make life-changing discoveries. Seeing people gain confidence in who they are designed to be, find meaning in their experiences, and discover a purpose bigger than themselves brings her incredible joy. Anna especially loves the moment autistic and ADHD clients discover they are understood, welcome, and safe to be whom they were created to be without shame or fear. Anna knows that parents of autistic and/or ADHD children face unique challenges and obstacles as they seek to support their children’s healthy and happy development. Breaking the cycle of shame and guilt and helping parents discover a brighter future for their children is very important to Anna. Most of all, Anna loves seeing people begin to grasp how wonderfully and fearfully they were created and how deeply and intensely loved they are by their Creator.
