I value her input on my issues simply because she knows how to empathize and yet still hold me accountable to my mental health practices. She is kind and easy to talk to and seems extremely devoted to each and every one of her patients, which must be hard, since I'm sure she has many. I only assume because of her style of therapy is so approachable, otherwise I would assume she only had me as a client since her attention is always with me in the moment and she always seems to be listening, which is sometimes hard to get with a therapist. I tell everyone who is looking for a therapist about her and can't recommend her highly enough
