Attentive and very personable

She was amazing! I had a few sessions with her before I was referred to someone else but during the time that I had with her I absolutely loved her. I recommend her to anyone that actively wants to do better for themselves. She has opened my eyes to possibilities I never considered. Can’t recommend her enough!

Wouldn't recommended if you're aneurotypical or "unusual" including really depressed or anxious. The entire conversation left me feeling like I was a major inconvenience or task to just be completed. At the end of the call I was informed we weren't a good fit and I'd be referred back to the queue despite having some high markers in problematic mental health categories. Thanks.
