Kirk is a naturally gifted empath , as well as highly educated and experienced. I have found that these qualities don't always go hand-in-hand in a therapist but Kirk has the trifecta of what it takes to really help people have better lives. At the same time, he does not waste one's time and helps his clients get to what they need in a timely manner. He is direct, yet warm, flexible and trustworthy. highly recommended therapist.
