I have had more than a few therapists throughout my adult life. Toni is wonderful. I feel very comfortable sharing with her. She always brings discussion back to my original goals and keeps things consistent while remaining open to exploring other things. She has the right balance really figured out and she's very attuned to her clients. I have been able to meet some very challenging goals through her help.

I appreciate how patient she is. It's always been hard for me to talk to people, and a lot of my experiences in therapy have been rough because of that. But she is very patient with me, and gently takes control of the conversation when I start to get a little emotional. So far, a very pleasant experience, and I look forward to my continued therapy with her.
