Trudi is amazing! During my weekly appointments she is always ready to help me approach whatever subject is giving me issues whether its a past subject or something in my current daily life. If I need to reach out to her in between appointments for something she is always timely getting back with me. No matter the subject, I always feel supported and not judged.
