Ruth is a great listener and allows me to just talk until she feels it is the right time to intercept and bring an understanding and kind response as well as maybe a different way to approach whatever specific situation is happening in that moment.
I love that she is not hesitant about asking me if I would like a little prayer. That is one of the reasons why I chose Ruth.
I have only had two sessions with Ruth but so far it has been very positive.

Ruth has such a caring, comforting presence. I'm amazed she is able to convey that so well over video calls, but she does every time. She is flexible and attentive in the kinds of therapy she provides, and open to input in sessions, asking me if I want to be heard, or if instead I'm looking for input, etc. Ruth regularly helps me reach building-block conclusions on concerns big and small, which go on to help me in my everyday life. I appreciate working with Ruth and 100% would recommend!
