Talking to Becca is literally the highlight of my week. I have always been leery of therapy, but this has been an excellent experience this far. I plan on continuing therapy for quite some time!

I couldn’t say enough good things about Becca. Opening up was not something I was comfortable with and she has helped ease that transition and guide me on my journey to better mental health. She is thoughtful and so caring.
