My therapist has helped me work through my postpartum depression and anxiety. I truly feel like she cares about me and everything I have going on in my life.

Rula patient

When I decided to start back up in therapy after a miscarriage I was struggling through I knew I wanted someone closer to my age to understand me better and my therapist was just what I was looking for. She is very supportive and helpful in allowing me to discover myself and work through my fears and anxieties without it feeling medical.

Rula patient

Empathetic, helped me process feelings of guilt, shame, and loss. Professional, flexible, and experienced.
