I like how her questions were tailored to get to the root of the situation. We didn’t spend this first session all on surface level type of things. She also seems open and receptive to what I was saying and not judgmental. Very easy to talk to.

I was able to share my trauma without judgement in a very comfortable space. She was a great listener and very attentive. I would highly recommend her to anyone searching for a therapist and if you’re struggling with metal heath. She offered ways for me to handle my day to day challenges. Very refreshing.
