I’m a very private person and never thought therapy would be an option for me. In the past I think I signed up and quit three times before finally going through with it this time. Immediately on the first session I felt comfortable speaking with him and not judged. He sparked my own thinking by asking simple questions. He has been very helpful and is helping me ask the right questions to myself, the hard questions, to really assess my situation and move towards a resolution.
