“Over the past few sessions she has been amazing. I haven't felt understood in years it seems like, but she actually listens and gives really good guidance. It also doesn't seem like she is just agreeing with everything I'm talking about which I really appreciate. She tells me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear which I really do appreciate from her. 10/10 easily.”
