"I respond very well to her style of therapy. It's much more like a conversation than something clinical. She always listens to me and gives me examples that relate to her own life and situation that gives me context and validation to what I am feeling or experiencing. I cannot imagine having any other therapist. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a way to decompress, learn, and share. "

"Portia is amazing. We connected right away. I feel safe and heard when I am talking with her. I would recommend her."

"I can tell her anything, and I do."

"Portia is amazing. She has helped me immensely with my family issues and has guided me in feeling better about myself. Her advice on managing anxiety and stress has been incredibly valuable. She is a great listener, and I’m so glad I met her. One of the things I appreciate most is her direct approach—she doesn’t sugarcoat things, and that honesty has really helped me grow. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking genuine and effective support. I’m really hoping I can continue having her as my therapist in the future."

"Portia is very warm and friendly. I've enjoyed our sessions a lot. She helps me see things from a different perspective which I greatly appreciate."
