She strives to meet all clients with empathy, non-judgement, openness, and kindness. She hopes to build a safe space for all her clients, allowing for an environment of empowerment, encouragement, and connection. Making the step to seek counselling is a huge step for anyone, and Allahna’s focus is supporting individuals through emotional difficulties that come up.
