She‘s the best therapist I‘ve ever met. I had quite a lot of bad lucks to find a thoughtful and careful therapist to make me feel safe and she‘s the one I‘ve been looking for a long time. She really listen to you and care about you. That‘s why I‘ve come back to her even after a year of break of therapy. I strongly recommend her!

She is inteligent, and pleasant.
Even if she wasn't a therapist, that is the kind of person who one needs to talk to.

Moira has helped me immensely since I started working with her several months ago. She is warm, accepting and encouraging. She helps me to find my way to the heart of my issues and inspires a way to deal with them.

I absolutely love my sessions with Moira. Not only is she a very qualified provider, she is also a person who clearly loves and is passionate about what she does. Her work has immensely helped me since beginning therapy. Talking with Moira is super healing and fun, and I greatly look forward to seeing her every week. Sometimes I forget that I’m actually IN therapy because she provides such a comfortable and safe environment in which I am able to speak about my issues. Thanks, Moira!
