She listened to what I had to say and asked great questions. I felt very welcomed and safe with her. She even gave me some homework on our first session. Can’t wait for more sessions with her!

I’ve only just started seeing her, but I already feel like I’m in good hands. She really listens, asks thoughtful questions, and makes me feel seen without judgment. I’m looking forward to continuing this healing journey with her.
