Very great therapist. Always gets me in on a good schedule and works with whatever needs I’ve come across. I’ve had to change times/cancel last minute and he’s helped work it out with me. Super friendly and comfortable to talk to.

It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments.
