Rosa is a compassionate, honest, and insightful soul. She has provided me with a virtual face-to-face counselling experience that far exceeds my expectations and prior experiences with in-person therapy.

The best counselor I had not only for her expertise and compassion, but also because she has an intersectional cultural understanding of my complex background. That’s rare for therapist to have so she’s definitely a gem!
