I was really scared going into this, I've heard stories of having to change therapists a few times, but I was so lucky to find someone as lovely as Cheryl on my first try! She has given me such great advice and so many tips on things that I have going on. Its always a pleasure getting to speak with her especially with how many things I've had going on. I could come in with some really deep stuff and we always find a moment in the session for a laugh or two.
