I have only been with Aubrey for a short while, but in that short time she's helped me become more comfortable with therapy by being patient and listening in a nonjudgemental way. In just a few sessions with Aubrey I've felt like a stronger person. Thank you Aubrey!

From day one I connected with Aubrey. She has a very welcoming personality and it shows through during our sessions. I've been able to begin healing from recent traumas, and I feel very safe with Aubrey, I feel with her guidance and encouragement I'm able to overcome my fears. I've already told my loved ones/coworkers about how much I love my sessions with Aubrey.
