Client Success Stories

“My sessions with you really helped me slow things down. When I have panic attacks or lots of anxiety things seem to be going so fast and I get lost in a horrible train of thoughts and events. You helped me learn what it means to be mindful and to do things mindfully which really helped slow everything down and be able to take things one step at a time. Now things that previously may have been a source of anxiety, don’t seem so daunting anymore.”

I am now going on almost a year without the therapy and I'm still doing better than I ever have with having dealt with my issues and learning how to prevent it from happening again with the amazing help of Sheilah. I recommend her and will continue to recommend her and therapy for years to come!"
