Recent Testimonials

“I feel relieved. I feel like I know what to do to build self-trust and set boundaries with my friends and family so I don’t feel so drained. I like how you ask me what I’m feeling and noticing in myself – it reminds me to ask myself that throughout the day.”

“You have a good knack of asking the right questions that help me move forward. The support you’ve given me has been exceptionally helpful. This has been a year of growth for me. I’ve come to terms with some of the insecurities I’ve had.”

“I feel more clear-headed about a lot of things. We are hitting a lot … It feels good to have someone in my corner. It’s made me a more positive person outside of therapy too – other people are seeing it too.”

“Having these therapy sessions has been helpful for me to be more intentional about the things I want to work on…it has helped me refocus my mindset on what is important to improve my overall mental health, ie. being truthful with myself about my emotions, and my partner. I leave feeling really good. I feel like I’m making progress.”

“This feels like a form of meditation for me. I feel like a weight is lifted as I go to work.”

“These sessions have already helped me to be more mindful and calm. I didn’t like that about myself, that I got upset really easily. It’s helped me to learn to pause before reacting.”

“I’m motivated because of the progress I’ve seen…my mind isn’t as busy as it has been. It’s allowed me to be more present in other areas of my life, at work and in the relationship – it wouldn’t be as good if I didn’t have this.”
