- “Through the years I’ve had the opportunity to work with several therapists / counselors. By far Kay is the best match for me personally in terms of my personality and what I need and want to accomplish and how I need to get there. And my other therapists were very good by the way. I’m thankful to have been matched with Kay.”

- “I’ve been in therapy for over six months now and Kay has continued to help me work through my goals for my mental health and provided the tools on how I can heal from my life of trauma. She is attuned and sensitive to various cultural sensibilities as we work through some of my racial trauma I experience. She is also attentive and makes sure to check on me throughout the week between our sessions. I understand she may have a lot of clients but Kay never makes me feel like she’s too busy to listen to my concerns and thoughts as I navigate this journey.”
- “I’ve really enjoyed my sessions with Kay and feel she has helped me look deeper into myself to help me figure out a few things about my patterns. She listens, is considerate and empathetic and also ask the questions that need to be asked. I highly recommend her to those in need of therapy.”
