Down to earth love that he keeps it real, doesn’t sugar coat stuff and tell you what you want. Doesn’t tell you to quit your job if you’re going through a tough time like 90% of other therapists I hear of.

Very understanding and a good listener who's not judgmental at all. Had great self growth and experience with his guidance.
