Omg she is amazing. I was hesitant about talking to someone about personal matters but I feel like I am talking to a very wise and fun aunt. I knew I wanted to try therapy and had concerns on who I would be paired up with but that was no problem at all. I appreciate everything she does for me. I always feel good and relieved after speaking with her. She is respectful and kind and I appreciate that a lot.

Lena is a great communicator with the patience to listen while you try to figure out your thoughts. She makes therapeutic suggestions to allow an individual to work through one situation at a time and at their own pace. Lena has control over her body language and facial expressions so you don't feel awkward sharing vulnerabilities. I love how she is professional yet down to earth even when recording the conversation to stay on topic. She's really good!
