Rosemary has helped me through the most difficult time of my life . With her guidance I’m becoming the best version of myself and she has helped me build my confidence up to what it is today. I can’t thank her enough.

Rosemary is an extremely knowledgeable and objective therapist. I have had many therapists over the last 40 years, and she is one of the few that actually helped me. She has helped me reframe the way I think about my past and how I think about my future so that I can feel positive, have hope, and learn to forgive myself for things I cannot change that I let hold me back from real progress.

Ms. Rosemary is amazing. After our first session, I knew she was perfect for me. She told me exactly what I needed to hear not what I wanted to hear. She tells me what I feel even if I do not want to accept it. She is more than amazing and I love our session. I should of started a lot earlier.

Rosemary is a wonderful therapist. She listens to the situation, gives advice and offers different ideas as well as articles to read and worksheets to help with the situation. I chose her because of her years of experience and age. She can easily relate and doesn't mince words. I would recommend her to anyone!
