Liesel takes the time to listen and really understand me, even when I don’t understand myself. Through our sessions I’ve learned new skills to help me deal with issues including anxiety & depression. Our sessions have helped with my confidence & sense of well being, & my life has improved greatly. Anxiety and other issues no longer feel overwhelming. I’ve developed healthier habits with new tools in my toolbox to deal with stress. I meet with her regularly & I look forward to every session!

She knows me better than I know myself and helps better understand my feelings rather than pushing them aside. Without her I honestly would feel alone and crazy.
