What clients say
- “Roxane seems to understand me. She’s honest & helps me be honest . We’re setting goals & I’m hopeful that this will help me improve.”
- “Great therapist very helpful and listens. Lives to understand and puts herself in your shoes.”
- “Roxane is very easy going, down to earth, and is a straight shooter. She has a great sense of humor and tries not to take everything so seriously, which I think she tries very hard to impart to her clients. She reminds you to not sweat the small stuff and pretty much everything is small stuff when you think about it. This is not to say that she diminishes your feelings but just tries to give you a different perspective on things.”
