I came to meet Bernadette in a state of personal, emotional, and psychological crisis. Childhood trauma and environmental factors were sending my stress levels to unbearable levels. Within a short amount of time, guided by her widom, support, and insight, I am now in a place where I can function day to day without overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and dread. Bernadette comes from a place of warmth and support. She is very generous. She knows what buttons to push and how to gently manage and direct the emotions our work together evokes. I still have more work to do, but I feel confident in my therapy, my therapist, and the path she is leading my down. I would recommend Bernadette to anyone in need. She is a true ally. For the first time in quite a while I am beginning to feel as if I have options. I feel hopeful for my future.
