Germe has the exact experience that lends herself to my therapeutic needs. She is confidently knowledgeable about my concerns, is great with dialogue, and has positive approaches to the needs I have expressed. She is not a rollover, take whatever is said, but offers challenges and insights that pertain well to the issues we discuss.
Very pleasant personality. I'm glad I met her.

What I love about Germe is no matter what topic we discuss, I always learn about my own patterns and why I do what I do. She helps me connect the dots and see how each situation is me repeating my pattern. I connected with her instantly and am so grateful for what I’ve learned about myself already!

Germe is the best, I had another therapist before, she’s so much better, she knows how to carry the session and direct me, she knows how to challenge me but still makes sure I’m ok with it.
Bottom line- she’s totally awesome!

Germe has been forth coming and companionate with her advice. Her dialogue leaves plenty of room for expression, resolve, understanding, and open questioning.
