Keith is my first therapist and the best person I have met to identify how my brain thinks and gives me advice that I can relate to. I highly recommend.

Keith has not only been great with checking in and responding in a timely manner but has really been able to connect with me. I always have confidence that Keith is genuinely understanding me and being a caring source of advice. I’ve always been able to find clarity after each session no matter how big the problem may have been in reality or just in my head.

Keith is top-tier!! Wise, warm, insightful, real and thoughtful. He asks the kind of questions that make me stop and really think about things I wouldn’t have considered on my own. The things he says stick with me in a good way:)

I lucked out when I matched with Keith. He truly gets me and is an expert in his field. Been over a year with him and I learned so much about myself and new ways to cope and work through things in a healthy way!
