She's very professional and she's great at being a Therapist. She actively listens to my concerns and my worries in life, my family issues, and my worries about my relationship. She asks these right questions that I have never thought of before that made me stop and think deeper. She has good insights too on how I should be more communicative to others. I was able to be vulnerable as I feel very comfortable talking to her. I felt safe and heard. She really did helped me a lot.
