She is a wonderful therapist who has contacted me on a daily basis, checking in and making sure that my goals are being worked on with me. I struggle with anxiety and depression, and she’s been patient even when I have difficulty controlling how I feel in the moment.

Thank you for supporting me through my journey Ruby.

Ruby is the absolute best!! She has made my experience with therapy so great and has helped me tremendously in such a small amount of time!! Can’t wait to see where this journey goes and to continue to overcome obstacles in my life!!

Ruby is incredibly attentive, open, and understanding. I always receive messages from her each day with reminders &/or motivators at the beginning and end of the day. I feel heard and feel like I'm being offered doable HW that is helping improve in the areas that I want or need to work on. In the short time I've been seeing Ruby so far, I've already seen more progress than attempting to do the work solo or with previous programs and therapists I have been with. She's uplifting, down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and fun!
