"We were referred to Jill through a friend. She was an absolute game changer! As a couple with 3 young kids. We have learnt a new way of working as a team and respecting our differences as parents."

"My wife had been asking me to try couples counselling for a long time. I was very reluctant to try counselling as the concept of sitting in a room talking to a stranger about our issues felt very uncomfortable to me. Jill really made us feel comfortable from that first session. She helped us with tools and strategies to manage our conflict and communication. It felt great feeling close to my wife again after such a long time."

"I had been looking for a black therapist for a very long time. I felt really seen and understood in my individual sessions when I was going through a really difficult time. I’m so grateful!"

"Me and my partner were still in a good place in our relationship. But with the stress of running a business and raising kids we had found ourselves slowly drifting apart. I am so glad that we made the decision to come for relationship therapy. Jill, you have helped to breathe new life into our relationship. Thank you!"

Tatum & Avery

"It was refreshing to have therapy sessions that incorporated our cultural identity and included a space that we could explore our faith. We left feeling stronger as a couple. A highlight was feeling equipped with new tools to help us stay grounded in situations that used to cause lots of anxiety in our relationship."
