Highly recommend. I had such a pleasant experience. I shared my past observations and experiences, she listened, and then we talked about causes and solutions. It was a very professional, yet casual and comfortable environment.

She understood what I needed, and was very responsive when I had questions or needed refills. I no longer have insurance to be able to see her, but I'm extremely grateful to her for her help and kindness
