our first meeting was very smooth. It was like talking to my homegirl no awkwardness nor did I feel like she was judging me just listening and giving back feedback when needed.

I thank you for being someone that I didn't feel like I was being judged when I told my experiences. Things came out more easily because my guard was down. So thank you again!

I cannot recommend my therapist highly enough. From the very beginning, she has been a phenomenal communicator—clear, honest, and direct in a way that truly helps me grow. She strikes the perfect balance of being supportive while also challenging me to do the work and take accountability in my healing journey. I really appreciate her sense of humor, which adds a lightness to our sessions when needed, making even the hardest conversations feel more manageable. She doesn’t sugarcoat things, but she also knows how to be compassionate and encouraging. Her insights have been incredibly valuable, and I feel lucky to have found someone who genuinely cares and brings so much skill and authenticity to each session. She's truly a great therapist!
