I've referred family members and friends of clients who have wanted individual, marital or family therapy though the years -- to Blanche and I've heard nothing back but praise. She is extremely insightful, compassionate and provides excellent coping strategies as well!

The worst! Actually worse news my experience with my family. I had to ask her if she needed family history and she didnt. Sent a zoom link and was not on it herself. Listened to my family argue for 45 minutes and not a second more. Offered zero advice and had the audacity to ask to book another session. Stay far away from this unqualified person
