Tish is great. She listens to me. She always shows me and gives me the confidence to allow me to make the right decision for me. I have learn to listen to myself and discover what feels right for me. I did not know what therapy was going to do for me, but I took the leap and I discovered my peace. The peace to be alone, the peace to accept who I am and continue to try/do new things in my own time. Not in someone else's shadow or how they think I should be. Glad I took the leap. I am better for it.

With care and feeling, she can talk to you naturally, and you don’t feel alienated or without any kind of remorse or fear it’s natural and real. Her response is with feeling and compassion and care.

She listens very well and makes me feel heard. I don’t feel judged in any way. I would highly recommend her! I feel like a better version of myself after each session.
