Murla is very insightful and practical, while bringing genuine warmth and humor to our sessions. I appreciate so much her empathy for all of the competing priorities faced by working parents who are also juggling eldercare, long commutes and other responsibilities. She is very responsive, well organized and offers appointment times that are compatible with busy schedules. Highly recommended!

I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to expressing my gratitude for my psychiatrist. Working with her has truly been life-changing. She’s not just someone who prescribes medication—she’s someone who sees the whole person, who listens with care, and who has helped guide me through some of the most difficult and transformative periods of my life. From our very first session, I felt genuinely seen and heard. There was no judgment, no rushing—just a calm, steady presence that made it safe for me to open up. She helped me untangle years of self-doubt, anxiety, and emotional struggle, and with her guidance, I’ve grown more in the past year than I thought possible. Her ability to blend insightful conversation with the right medical approach has been nothing short of remarkable. Through careful adjustment and ongoing dialogue, she helped me find a medication plan that works for me—one that doesn’t mask who I am, but rather supports the person I’m becoming. I feel clearer, stronger, more grounded, and far more capable of handling life than I ever have before. But what sets her apart most is her compassion. She genuinely cares about my well-being—not just as a patient, but as a human being. She celebrates my progress, no matter how small, and reminds me that growth isn’t always linear, but it is always worth it. Because of her, I’ve become a better version of myself—more aware, more resilient, and more hopeful. She’s helped me find my voice, regain my balance, and embrace the kind of peace I didn’t think I’d ever know. I am endlessly grateful for her presence in my life and would recommend her to anyone who is ready to do the hard, beautiful work of healing and growth.
