Ruth is very personable. I had little to no problem opening up to her. She is an active listener and will do what she can to help.

Excellent therapist. I need someone to be there for me, advise me, and give me a laugh sometimes and she does all of the above. I would highly recommend her. She is truly caring, and makes you feel important.

Ruth is very helpful and listens well. She does a great job of asking questions that correlate well with what I’m explaining and keeping track of what I’ve told her.

I love talking with Ruth! She is knowledgeable about relationships and healthy boundaries and how to implement that in to my life. She is very professional, yet down to earth which makes opening up to get to the root of an issue that much easier.
