I appreciate the kindness in her tone and how she can relate to some of the things I had spoken to her about.

She is very professional and amazing to work with. I feel like she really listens and provides helpful feedback, she is exactly what I look for in a therapist and I feel like I can be completely open with her about my problems and concerns and know she will listen and help me through them.
