Antoinette has been a great help to me to learn how to deal with my anxiety and overwhelming thoughts.
She listens carefully and gives me ways to calm down in a scenario that is triggering of physical anxiety symptoms. She helps me to understand how it is that ptsd and trauma, can affect the mind and body, and that for me to regulate my emotions and mind being mindful of my own breath, can help to alleviate what I’m feeling. On top of that, she helped me find a natural vitamin that helps alleviate feelings of stress and anxiety. I have been using all her tips and have been able to go back to work after being home for over 6 weeks. I would recommend her to anyone struggling with similar issues. She has also helped talk me through the effects of substance abuse and how it can hamper your progress when trying to recover from bouts of anxiety.

I have been attending telehealth sessions with my counselor for anger management issues, and I must say, she is exceptional in her field. Her professionalism and expertise are evident from the very first session. She creates a safe and non-judgmental space, allowing me to openly discuss my challenges without any fear of criticism.
What stands out the most is her ability to listen attentively and provide insightful feedback. She employs a variety of techniques and exercises that are tailored to my specific needs, making each session both productive and enlightening. Her approach is compassionate yet direct, which has been instrumental in helping me understand and manage my anger more effectively.
Moreover, her flexibility in scheduling and adept use of telehealth technology makes each session convenient and accessible, no matter my location or schedule. Her punctuality and commitment to maintaining a consistent schedule have also been greatly appreciated.
I highly recommend her to anyone struggling with anger issues. Her guidance has been a crucial part of my journey towards better emotional management and overall mental health.
