Report
I use to come here a long time ago. It was a very horrible experience!!! I got my feelings hurt, she disturbed me before and even tried to make therapy about her when I shared with her about a few of my interests to get to learn about me. She is not a good therapist! Do not go see her, you will regret it. Everything I dealt with was bad and I wish I had never gone to see her at all.

Report
I use to go here a long time ago. It started out okay! But it ended up being the worst experience I had ever went through. I am so glad to not be here anymore. If I can rate one of the worst people I have ever encountered it was this person. I hated her and still do and she still haunts me! I hope one day my horrible experience here will fade. If you were to see a therapist I recommend somebody else bring time!
