I absolutely love Willie. After a year of searching for therapy on my own, I finally found a therapist that asks the right questions and offers comfort, coping mechanisms, solutions, and overall help. I go to my friends after every session to tell them how much I love my therapist and how smart she is. In fact, I always call her a genius.

I love her “bedside manner.” She listens well. She allows me to think through my issues. She supports my need to be me and helps me celebrate myself rather than self deprecate.
