I talk a lot and Liz is a wonderful listener. She shows me she's listening because I will explain my problems or what is bothering me and within minutes, I have worksheets or helpful tips, or even links to suggested group sessions from her that directly relate to my voiced concerns. She is always eager to hear what's on my mind and offers support in many ways. I'm definitely appreciating and enjoying my therapy journey moreso because of Liz.
