Walanda and I have been working for 2 years! Began in the thick of the pandemic ! She always was exactly what I needed in the moment wether I wanted it or not. We have challenges my anxieties abs depression and she helped equip me with ways to combat those darker moments and come back from them. I loved her warm energy it was like talking to a family member. I will never forget her! Abs I will miss her dearly

Walanda is world class. From our first session, I felt safe and comfortable communicating with her. Therapeutic success requires real honesty and Walanda will create that space for you so you can really grow and learn and heal. I would recommend her to anyone.
