Great counselor! She knows how to make sessions enjoyable and understandable so that it’s easy to practice outside of just the sessions. She takes notes and remembers key points of convocations. We feel heard and understood instead of just being a time slot for the day. We look forward to our sessions and hope to continue for a really long time. I recommend speaking with her.
