Annette has been wonderful so far- my situation is complicated and there is a lot of CPTSD in addition to my diagnoses. Annette has been patient and kind while we unpack my mess and is easy to speak to- like chatting with a friend. I had previously had a couple negative therapy experiences and was resistant to starting therapy again…. Annette has changed my mind and I wish we had connected much earlier!
