Jamil has been truly a Godsend. I never thought I was a “therapy” person…but he’s really changed that and I’m so grateful for him. His ability to make me see things from a different angle and help me to talk through my issues and laugh at myself has been so beneficial as I worked my way through a breakup, the end of a huge professional chapter, and make sense of relationships that have been previously confounding. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
