As a Clinical Psychologist I have pondered on occasion ‘what constitutes a good review?’ What would I like to know when searching for a therapist? Almost as important, what might I like to share with others that can be helpful? Fortunately, in this case, having known Sally for more than 20 years in both professional and personal capacities provides me a wealth of information to draw upon. Sally is simply, without jargon, an authentically good person with a heart the size of California. She is caring and compassionate, truthful and trustworthy; uniformly foundational elements to being a therapist. But, character and caring alone is not enough and that’s what makes her a wonderful Clinician. Sally also has a curious and inquisitive mind, in general, but especially so within the field. Simply put - she likes learning about people, places, things. She is smart, well reasoned, clearly well educated, with substantial experience. When looking for a therapist the person and their professional capacity matter and she possess those positive attributes and more.
I have known Sally for at least 5 years. She is a trusted colleague in the field with whom I have had the pleasure of participating in professional development/continuing education courses. Sally is intelligent, thoughtful, compassionate, empathic, warm and has a nice sense of humor! I confidently refer prospective clients to Sally and will continue to do so!
In my role as Founder and Nurse Practitioner of The Women’s Health Resource Center at California Pacific Medical Center, I've referred many of my patients over these many years to Sally and I can say confidently that she is an experienced, empathetic and skilled therapist who is conscientious and thoughtful in her work with her patients. I absolutely trust her professional judgment and never hesitate to refer my patients to her. I highly recommend her.
Excellent therapist - smart, ethical, compassionate. I would refer a family member to her, which is the highest recommendation I could give.
This therapist violated my privacy and acted unethically . She had no right to divulge my personal information . She did not provide adequate therapeutic services and overall I left feeling violated , schemed and uncomfortable . She was unprofessional, and she was not a knowledgeable therapist. She did more harm than good . People who violated the law should not be allowed to continue to impact people’s lives negatively . I would not recommend this therapist see clients . What she did was downright a violation of my rights and ethical standards .
