Anita is kind and empathetic. She has a wealth of experience and knowledge and is easy to talk to. I never feel judged or embarrassed. It’s great to get her opinion when life throws me lemons. I totally recommend Anita!

Anita has been instrumental in helping me navigate difficult life events and carefully unearth and address repressed issues. I've worked with 8+ therapists and Anita's experience, compassion and steadiness is unmatched and invaluable.

The entire process has been very easy and helpful. The app is great, the journal suggestions help provide new insight, and scheduling video sessions with Anita is very simple. Anita is a joy to work with, and she has helped me to work on long term relationship issues in new ways that I would have never figured out on my own. I feel empowered every time we converse, and she has sent very helpful worksheets and information that I refer to regularly. Thank you!
