I feel so fortunate to have found a therapist like Adrienne; she has truly changed my life. Through her expertise and warm personality, she has helped me to open up about painful past issues and work through them by enabling me to find a new perspective and love myself even if I’m not perfect. She can make me laugh through my tears during difficult moments, or quietly give me tender reassurance that sorrow and tears are perfectly okay. In the few months we have been working together she has already helped me reach some of my mental health goals, and I have every confidence that with her continued assistance I will be empowered to reach them all. If you are looking for a therapist that is an experienced and skilled professional, who can put you at ease and make you feel like you are talking with a trusted old friend, then you are looking for Adrienne!

Adrienne is an amazing therapist and she helped me deal with grief and overcome it. Our session was helpful to me because it allowed me to see some positivity in my grieving processes.

Adrienne is such a wonderful match for helping me. From the very first conversation I felt so listened to and "met" where I was, and helped, and not judged, that it felt like speaking to a best friend that really "gets me".
