What recent reviews say

One reviewer praised her dedication and genuine care. Another faced a serious mismatch: office staff assigned a child therapist for an adult with autism, she declined to treat, and refused to recommend an alternative without the patient calling head office.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
