“I was specifically looking for someone who’s had life experience and could relate in many levels. I appreciate her non-judgmental approach; she even said to me it’s ok no need to apologize ( I was jumping all over giving her a quick rundown of my background and issues that I believe I need help with) She didn’t chastise me or quickly label me…instead she said “just monitor yourself” and we’ll take it from there. She’s personable, easy to talk to and a good listener. It didn’t feel clinical, instead more like a conversation.”
