Ruth is an excellent therapist! She has a great demeanor and easily to talk to and express whatever is on your mind. She offers suggestions, strategies and insight. I have enjoyed our time together and she has helped me so much by helping me to understand the process of releasing the various emotions that prevent us from being the person we truly want to be! Ruth is the best!

Ruth is the most amazing person in the world. When her I talk I truly feel she understands and listens. I may not always get the answer I want, but she questions me in the greatest way possible and pushes me to be the person I deserve to be even if everybody but me sees it. I took a break for a little over 6 months and when my significant other saw a change in me, the first thing she asked after we talked through things, is if I needed to talk to Ruth. That's how much of a profound effect Ruth has had on my partner and my life and how much she has helped me grow as a person to be a better partner and just a better version of myself. I couldn't imagine talking to anybody else.
