“Knowledgeable.”

“Pam is professional, intuitive, seeks to help resolve the issues. I’m very grateful for my time with her.”

“Connected right away. Exceeded my expectations.”

“Exactly the type of therapist I needed in this phase of my life and treatment. Very experienced from both life and her decades of work in trauma therapy. She was fantastic at facilitating EMDR on a very large trauma for me, an untreated ADHD adult woman, which is no small feat. She understands neurodiversity and to have these 2 qualities in a therapist (trauma informed pro with extensive ADHD knowledge and experience) was invaluable to me. I am very thankful for her help.”

“looking forward to another session”

“Pamela is great, at times I just need someone to listen to me and at times I need feedback/advice. She’s very personable and I have really connected with her given similar experiences.”
