Kay has been amazing. She is honest, funny and direct and really helps me cut through the noise to get to the problems. She gets the issues and she helps work with me to solve them in a practical way and I’m very thankful. You have to be ready to put the work in but it’s so worth it, thank you Kay!

This woman has changed my life. She has a realistic view of life and works with you to create your own version of that.

Through the years I’ve had the opportunity to work with several therapists / counselors. By far Kay is the best match for me personally in terms of my personality and what I need and want to accomplish and how I need to get there. And my other therapists were very good by the way. I’m thankful to have been matched with Kay.

Kay is awesome, she understands what I’m going through.
