Amazing!! So supportive but tough when I needed her to be. Really helped me navigate some tough times in my life around relationships and standing up for myself. She really helped facilitate me finding my confidence again and really coming into my own. Highly recommend!

Dr. P was so great to work with. I loved her approach and point of view, it made talking and opening up a lot easier. She really helped me reframe the way I see myself and how I can be a better person not only for me, but for those closest to me.
