"I respond very well to her style of therapy. It's much more like a conversation than something clinical. She always listens to me and gives me examples that relate to her own life and situation that gives me context and validation to what I am feeling or experiencing. I cannot imagine having any other therapist. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a way to decompress, learn, and share. "
