Patient Reviews
Jul 12, 2021
Still seeing her for over 1 year virtual. I’ve never had such a incredible psychiatrist and therapist to boot. She’s straight up with compassion. She flexes and shows humility if she misjudges. She’s asks me things no one ever had despite many years of trying various therapists. She’s very experienced, and seems to have very strong intuition. Despite intense specialty in psychodynamic, she’s eclectic, drawing on depth of experience, knowledge and despite age, keeps up with the latest in research. I think she knows a lot more than the average doctor and seeks to learn about anything she isn’t familiar. Her honesty and straightforward way is atypical but personally find her approach refreshing and authentic. My ability to trust is a massive challenge yet her authentic and gently probing with respect endeared me immediately to her.
