She is excellent. I am new to therapy. My only hesitation is if my therapist is a good fit for me. That will take time to discern. She is skilled, available, and professional. I just need to keep going to see if this is the right fit for me. Not criticizing the therapist as this is totally subjective. I think we are going is a good direction so far. Super receptive, no nonsense, and yet highly empathetic and willing to really listen. I’m happy with this experience so far. Therapy is a weird when it’s your first time.

I love my therapist

I was very nervous about putting myself out there but it has been freeing to finally have my past out in the light. It seems to be that it isn't in the shadows it hasn't popped into to my thoughts like it used to I can finally put it behind me and move on.

I am heard, seen, and validated. She is authentic and I have made progress internally in just a few appointments. This was the best decision I could have made for myself
