Sally makes me feel empowered. She checks in with friendly reminders and affirmations and in my last 6 months of seeing her has changed my life. I feel more in control of my life with the tools she gives me. Just kind, understanding, nurturing, and uplifting.

Sally is great at listening and knowledgeable in helping to process situations and events. I specifically was looking for someone to be transparent and help me acknowledge areas of improvement and keep me accountable. She is reassuring, realistic, provides feedback and is honest. Even on more difficult sessions, i am never left feeling hopeless. Sally ensures to wrap things up appropriately and never fails to offer helpful resources or strategies that I can implement. Every week I feel motivated to implement something into my life to improve. I am no where near close to the self improvement I wish to accomplish, but I feel extremely hopeful and motivated.
