He is a great listener and asks introspective questions that seem to give him the insight he needs to make me feel really understood. I look forward to getting some advice based on his expertise moving forward.

He's supportive, understanding, and very personable, never thought therapy would be something I need but he opened my mind to where everyone has problems just alot of people don't understand were all the same. He doesn't treat me like just a patient he treats me like a human being and I respect him for that.
