From our first conversation, and that’s how I think of my sessions with Donna - as conversations rather than therapy, she has helped me develop insight into the challenges in my marriage. Donna asks challenging questions that make me think without ever feeling defensive or criticized. She is a skilled clinician and I am grateful to have this opportunity to work with her.

Wonderful experience. Donna spent a handful of sessions with me, helping me unpack a difficult emotional situation (relationship related). I recommend her.
