Sylvia’s therapy style of offering tools for life in a safe environment is invaluable. Having the space to be able to be open and honest about ones’ feelings and fears, especially in the world’s current climate, is worth everything. For myself, I have found, that therapy made my quality of life better. It was like having a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I can’t recommend Sylvia highly enough.

You know you love your therapist if you're willing to post about her publicly!! I first met Sylvia when I was feeling job dissatisfaction back in...04? I immediately found her to be a thoughtful, reflective professional who had unparalleled insight when it came to helping me work through personally or professionally stressful times. Sylvia's ability to listen to your details of a situation, discuss it thoughtfully, and help you find clarity is only surpassed by how genuine and warm she is - something I had simply never experienced before. You'll learn something new every time you visit her office. Investing in my own long-term happiness was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Can't recommend her enough - in fact, I have, to all of my friends -- and now I'm telling you!
