Here are what some clients have said about me in notes and texts sent to me:

"You have taught me so much about myself...I've worked with many counselors, but you're the first one to ever really understand me...I don't think I'll ever be able to work with anyone else after this".

"The work we have done together has been life changing. I actually knew what to do and say to my sister this past week...it was so rewarding and made me feel free from my past with her."

"I know the first session just happened a few days ago, but I had to text and tell you I learned more from you in that session than in all the years I've been in therapy. It's like you know me. And yes, I've washed my dishes and put them away every day since we met and I can't wait for next week."

" I wish I wasn't moving...I'll never find another therapist like you".

"I appreciate you bringing the best out in me. I was able to (redacted) at our family reunion, just like I did when I was younger and it felt so good to be recognized for myself, my gifts and my contribution to the party. I feel loved again".

"I just hope you know that you are the best therapist in the whole world".
