I have been with Dr. J now for few months and still currently seeing her. She came in the perfect timing in my life. Her level of expertise, clinical approach, her compassion, grace and consistency is nothing to be compared. I wish I had known her earlier in my healing journey. I would recommend her to anybody doing growth, healing and therapy. Thank you Dr. J

Dr. J has been an essential support system, sounding board, and resource at a time of many changes in my life. I find her to be knowledgeable, consistent, honest, and of high integrity. She has been able to navigate with me through a challenging and high conflict dynamic and has helped me to see things from a more objective perspective.
