Tricia takes the time to understand my therapy needs and shifts her focus on the things that matter to me. She listens to understand and I don’t feel judged by her, rather supported. Definitely recommend her as a therapist!

One of the best therapists I have ever had and I’ve been around the block. I restarted to better help since I was traveling for work. Tricia found me in a rough state, but with her care I found myself guided towards a healthier way of life. Off most of my meds, can handle things life better, and navigated me through an extremely rough divorce.

Tricia is brilliant. Always listens and takes in everything I have to say no matter how trivial. Originally I was very anxious to start this process but she has put me at ease all the way through. She has provided me with so many solutions and methods to improve myself over such a short space of time. Tricia is a brilliant therapist and I would recommend her to anyone
