In the few sessions that I have had with Cora, she was able to help me understand why I have certain issues regarding some things. She helped me make a breakthrough and realize some important aspects of my past within my first session. After my first session with her, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. She has been very supportive with my needs and I always look forward to my sessions with her.
