"Working with her was an incredibly meaningful experience, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. After losing my father, she helped me navigate the complexity of grief and trauma in a way that brought me a much deeper understanding of myself and what I was going through.

I had also lost my mother when I was 17, and at the time, I never truly allowed myself to process that loss. Although we did not necessarily focus on that experience directly, working through the grief of losing my father helped me revisit and better understand the grief I had carried from losing my mother years earlier.

What made her exceptional was her approach. She wasn't there simply to tell me what I wanted to hear, but rather what I needed to hear to grow, understand myself, and move forward. She offered the kind of honesty, insight, and guidance that made a real difference in my healing journey.

I am genuinely grateful for the help she provided. She is an exceptional therapist who approaches her work with both compassion and honesty, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone navigating grief or trying to make sense of a difficult loss."

"Very good vibe, good listener and open to feedback, helped me see some things with EMDR and gave me great advice for life, meditation, and healing"
