“Ai was a wonderful therapist. What I appreciated most about her was her calming presence—she brings a very grounded, slow energy to her sessions and often pauses to make space for each thing said. Becaues I'm someone who clams up easily, this made it easy to talk about things that were on my mind. I also enjoyed doing Ai's short illustration exercises, because they offered a way into unpacking complicated emotions. Overall, I feel that our sessions allowed me to better understand the patterns I bring to my relationships and to identify where I can change in order to break those patterns.”

“Ai was incredibly helpful with my processing of the passing of my mom, as well as improving my relationship with my wife and overall just creating a very comfortable space for me to learn about myself. Enjoyed all my sessions even when talking about difficult things. Only reason I had to leave was sadly due to a change in my insurance. ”
