Anita has been an excellent therapist. She is kind, understanding, and easy to talk to. I was nervous to start therapy, but she has really made it a great experience. I've learned so much in the short time that I've been working with her.

Anita has been so nourishing to my self esteem and self. She allows me to be unapologetically myself, and makes sure I know that I am enough. She is a very good listener and will make sure she understands what you are saying before proceeding on with the conversation. I personally love her and tell my family and friends about her.
If you are struggling with self confidence, boundaries, understanding who you are, finding real meaning to life.. She’s the one.
