Even one star over states how I feel about this person's ability . Do not allow this person into your life or that of your family. She is divisive and ill equipped to resolve conflict. In fact it seems as if she wants to escalate any conflict. Her background in asserting all issues stem from early childhood trauma (EMDR) and this is a dangerous flawed philosophy designed in and of itself to perpetuate family division. There are many other counselors who have five star ratings. Reviews are important. Only wish our family had been wise enough to study previous dissatisfaction with this so called professional.

Terribly unprofessional. This provider is divisive, lacking insight, and not particularly caring... Not recommended!
