Joni is an incredibly experienced and uber-qualified therapist..

[She] has worked with me on unpacking issues I have around separation, self-worth and things held onto from childhood.

I would highly recommend Joni to anyone who needs someone professional and experienced to work through things with!

Sara is a phenomenal therapist.

She is a very skilled and talented mental health professional.

My favorite thing is that Sara cares so deeply about her clients.

With BWRT, I’ve been able to overcome problems that I have been working on in talk therapy for 2 years. BWRT gets to the root of the problem and I feel empowered that I’m solving my problems.

It is like nothing I have experienced before.

I honestly have no major anxiety around today other than a few nerves.

Your sessions worked, and BWRT is amazing.

Still a work in progress- like we all are- but I’m wayyyy better than I was before. And more confident after BWRT.

Been crying out of gratitude! Thank You!!!

Today has been a lot lighter… Like a reset.

Basically, all my old drama went quiet…

When some of those people come to my mind, I see them as the present moment. The grief from the past feels muted. Almost as though seeing the present still makes boundaries but doesn’t have all the baggage.

Honestly relief 🙂 Thank you!
