She also sends us worksheets after each session to brush up on the details/issues we all discussed, which we really appreciate and have found them to be helpful! ”

She is knowledgeable, professional, both delicate and direct when needed. I appreciate her help so much. After every session I improve so much with my perspective and emotional healing process as she guides me through what to expect and how to respond without being too hard on myself during my grief and transition to healing.
