She is very compassionate and caring. she explains things well.

February 13, 2023Paula J.Verified patient

It was advertised that she helps with anorexia but she could not provide me with that service so she decided it would be best if I saw someone else. Wasn’t very kind about my weight when we discussed it and I felt she could’ve been more sensitive towards that especially when I wanted to be seen for an eating disorder.
