Wayne is especially kind and creates an environment of safety, and for a very nervous 13 year old and old mom… it couldn’t possibly have gone any better! I am excited my kiddo will now have someone to talk to. Wayne has personally achieved incredible things, valedictorian and poet to only name a couple of things. This is going to help my smart and creative daughter find common ground with him and really be able to hear and trust him. Highly recommend Wayne!
