Thank you for your kindness and support in our initial session. I think your homework will greatly assist me in being the person I want to be.

I had my reservations about going into therapy for various reasons, but Aen made it so comfortable and so safe to talk about the reasons I came to therapy. I look forward to talking to her every week. Highly recommend!

She has been very helpful to me in a difficult situation. She listens very well and picks her spots to give her perspective and feedback that feels natural and fits the moment. I also appreciate her non-judgmental position.
