Testimonials

“I highly recommend play therapy with Eve. She is heartfelt person who deeply understands your child and holds the space for them to find healing and clarity.  I feel like I have new strategies to parent my child in a successful way and a better understanding of what he needs.” 

“Eve, your expertise and passion comes through so easily in your work and guidance. I have been noticing my child laughing so much more the last couple of weeks- his true, genuine laugh. I don’t feel like I have heard it for quite some time. Thank you!”

“When we started together the first thing you told me is that all emotions are OK. I said I get mad a lot and you said it’s OK, mad is OK its what we do with it that counts. That is what I am learning.” -Child client

“Eve has the capacity to see someone so clearly.  She has the combination of a loving and supportive intention, paired with the dedication to guiding her clients in finding their best selves that makes her a phenomenal therapist.  Therapy and counseling is a lucky industry to have her.” -Greer Van Dyke

“I thought for a while about how to write this testimonial and decided that I really wanted to emphasize Eve as a person and Eve as a therapist; really, the therapist and the person are one and the same, but truly, who Eve is as a person is good for people.  She is quiet and patient, and she has a beautiful soul.  She marries these more ephemeral qualities with deep knowledge about the therapeutic endeavor and about how she enters into that endeavor.  Eve listens to people and she hears them.  Her clients consider her a friend and it’s easy to see why; she makes space for people and cherishes their experience, showing people how to cope and allowing them to heal.”

“I have supervised and witnessed Eve work with children and families. I can fully say that she is one of the most naturally gifted play therapists I know. Children are drawn to her and feel open to share their deepest feelings and struggles. She meets them with authenticity, a warm smile, and an ability to help them through challenges with her grounded presence. Eve is also very engaged with parents, supporting and encouraging them to grow stronger relationships with their children. I trust that any child or family who works with Eve will grow, heal, and most of all be supported and loved.” – Ruth Wharton, MA, LPC

“Eve is a wonderful and skillful therapist. She attunes to her clients with care and compassion, and gently challenges them in a safe and supportive way, meeting her clients needs and achieving the goals they set forth together.

“I feel privileged and honored to call Eve my peer and colleague in the field of therapy.

Her gentle yet strong nature forges connections with many, making her easy to like and trust. I feel proud and inspired to work along side such a talented, bright, grounded therapist in the field.”
