Amazing. I have been so fortunate to have her for 13 years now. I don't think there is much she doesn't know about me and although a change in job has left her less available than she used to be which can be challenging during times like now she still gives me as much time and attention as I need. My last 2 sessions have been 2 hours long as we sort through options and details and how to work things out. When I'm in the hospital she stays in touch with the IP doctor (they work for the same hospital although at different locations) and she stays involved in what med changes are made. She admits to frustration and feeling bad that she can't get things adjusted so that I feel better. She has never pushed anything at me; everything is my own decision although the last number of years I've known I had to try nearly anything anyway. But when I told her that I had 2 meds I didn't think were covered that she and the hospital dr had discussed putting me on and that I was concerned because I am not good at taking meds during the day and both of these had daytime dosing she said that those weren't good meds for them then and thanked me for being honest. She's willing to fight when needed and I've seen her take on insurance and fight tooth and nail until she won. When I cry I don't just get tissues, I've had her sit and hold me while I cried when I was IP, for a long time. I usually get a hug when things get rough.

I have been very, very blessed by winding up with her. She isn't remotely local for me but when I started seeing her she had a few days per month at my counseling center which at the time was just a few minutes from home. Then we both moved around some and so she's 2.5 hours from home but worth every minute. And she schedules me so that I go up after I see my therapist which cuts some drive time off. She's the dr you dream of but never expect to find.
