“Welp, it’s finally here. I can’t begin to thank you enough for everything. For the longest time I thought “I’ll never find a therapist that I could connect with”. I’m eternally grateful that the universe put me in your path. From the lowest of lows, from a naive little boy, you guided me to who I am now, and to the man I will be. A part of me will forever indebted to you. The playlist? I always saw sharing music as a gift. You more than anyone knows how much stupid heartbreak I put myself through. Once again thank you for everything Tressa, it’s been an honor.”

“My time during our therapy session was everything a person could need or ask for, during this time of struggle. I was an emotional and mental wreck and my physical health was like a seesaw. I wasn’t necessarily a pushover, but everybody had access to me to impose their will and I would just abide by it. In the last year and a half or so, I’ve learned to not just build boundaries but also how to enforce them and prevent form making myself accessible to people unworthy of my time.

I’ve learned through help and guidance the benefits of meditation, exercising, and taking the time to get to know myself. It wasn’t just the tips, or the “try this” or the “homework” that helped, it was the warmth and care of your personality. You didn’t just listen cause it was your job, you genuinely made it comfortable and easy to talk to you. You cared. And even at times when I didn’t want to talk because of how my week may have gone, even just sitting in silence together made me feel at ease. That’s rare to find as a man, especially me, especially considering that we bottled everything up and keep moving.

Therapy didn’t feel like therapy, and I guess that’s one reason why I kept coming back every week. It was welcoming, like going to hang out with your best friend that has your back and supports you. I appreciate that you kept me accountable, and remained caring yet firm when I fell into old patterns.

Everyone should have someone like this in their lives. It can make a difference, even if it’s only for a short period of time. Thank you. You are truly appreciated everything.”
