I don't know what I would do if I hadn't found her!! She has helped me with so many things since we started our sessions. She's awesome

Dr. Blake has been such a blessing, I look forward to our sessions as I feel it is catching up with a friend. She offers advice when needed but most importantly listens to me and makes me feel heard and understood. She goes out of her way to give other tools for me outside of our sessions. I can't say enough good things about Dr Blake.

Dr. Blake is a good listener but she also speaks about issues or subjects that I bring up. I was told therapists just listen and say nothing. I’m pleasantly surprised that’s not the case with her. I highly recommend her!
