Claudia truly hears what i am saying. She is intuitive and open minded. If it weren't for her I would have still been locked in my PTSD with all of my fears and pain for more years. Now it's brought me to working on the experiences from the past pain and issues I have hidden away for years. I learn more about myself every session.
