“I came to Donna with a lot to unpack and deal with. Although we can only discuss so much in an hour, she made sure to leave me with some advice and things to work on till the next time we met. She truly cares about my well being and is helping me navigate past trauma and life itself at a pace that is healthy for me. She has also worked I with me to reschedule our sessions for times that work for me and joins our sessions promptly. Although we are still fairly new to each other I cannot recommend her enough! I feel comfortable and like I am just talking to a friend of mine free of judgement.”

“I had my first session with Donna last week, and I’m already feeling grateful for her support. From the moment we met, she was kind, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in my well-being. She made me feel comfortable and listened to right away, which was important for me, as starting therapy can feel daunting.
Donna was punctual, which I really appreciated, and during the session, she offered several practical techniques to help manage my anxiety. She clearly explained everything, making sure I understood how to apply these tools to my daily life.
Overall, I left the session feeling more hopeful and equipped to handle some of the challenges I’ve been facing. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with her and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate, effective therapy.”

Donna is very caring and I find her to be very helpful. She was willing to work with me to fit into her schedule and very clear with her availability. She’s great!

I've been working with Donna for about a month now, and she made me comfortable from the first appointment! She is clearly understanding, open to feedback, and nonjudgemental in her approach.

I wholeheartedly recommend Donna to anyone seeking therapy. I requested an emergency session with Donna and thankfully she was able to accommodate due to a cancelation. I am really grateful for her quick response and the insight she was able to provide for my situation. I truly felt heard and supported, and appreciated the guidance provided. Thanks, Donna!

I am very grateful to Donna’s care and professionalism during our sessions. She is great at putting the words and terms to my experiences, and also very good at remembering things from past sessions! I am very lucky to be working with her.

I was really hesitant to start therapy again after a 3 year break… i had pushed issues down for those 3 years instead of properly processing them and had just become numb. I got tired of just living without actually enjoying my life. I feel like in those 3 years without therapy, a light within me turned off and I couldn’t figure out how to get it back on myself. With recent health issues, I knew the stress would end up putting me over the edge, and I was scared it would permanently put me over the edge. I did extensive research on finding the right therapist for me and what I personally need. Although we have only had 2 sessions so far, Our sessions have helped tremendously with keeping me grounded and in the present with the stress of my health. My anxiety has not gotten the best of me and I’m still in shock with how well she has helped me cope with not only my current situations, but to not let my past traumatic experiences dictate how I deal my current life.

Donna is really good at remembering things and speaking to me on my level and explaining things for me to understand. I hope I can continue to work with her.
More than 1 year agoPM
Donna has such a calm and caring demeanor, which made opening up (even in the first appointment) feel completely comfortable and organic. I appreciate her approach to therapy – that people can grow and "graduate" from certain issues in their lives with the proper tools and maintenance, and that no one should feel bound to therapy for the foreseeable future. It's pragmatic, realistic and honest. Excited to dive deeper with her!

Donna is the absolute best. She really pays attention and cares about what you have to say. The connections she can make and the things she can point out that you didn’t even realize is so impressive!
More than 1 year agoAP
Donna is one of the most empathetic social workers I have ever worked with to improve myself. She knows how to lighten a mood and relate to the patient, but not to compare or belittle what you feel. I look forward to seeing her every week and taking what she has to suggest to truly improve my mentallity. She truly knows how to professionally listen, and always has the right thing to say. She will guide you to see the bigger picture in situations. I truly love being a patient Donna and only have good things to say about her!

Donna speaks with my daughter and she seems to like her a lot. Although I’m not with them during the appointment I’m happy with the way it’s going. My daughter says it’s going well. Donna is very personable and is a good fit for her.
More than 1 year agoSR
I have been a patient of Donna's for a couple of years and there are simply no words to describe the impact she has had on my life. When you are in session you are the one and only priority during that time. To say Donna cares would be an understatement, you can tell it is her passion to help her patients. She is extremely well educated and truly takes time to research what will best help each individual patient. I have recommended Donna to many people, and will continue recommending her. Donna has truly helped me make a 180 with my mental health and I am forever grateful for everything she has done for me.

I think that she is a very good person to speak to about anything and that she is there for you to speak about anything that is going on and will listen and give you feedback that will help you a lot.
