I am immeasurably grateful for the grounding, stabilizing force she has provided me with throughout our past several years of working together—and am consistently astonished by her profound insights. In our sessions I feel safe and held yet also challenged; expanded into new ways of seeing and thinking. With compassion, warmth, openness, a wry sense of humor, and an uncanny ability to perceive and articulate what I might not yet be able to, she has ushered me gracefully through immense personal growth, helping me reach new levels of self-acceptance and understanding."

We have been working with Francesca for more than 5 years, and we are so grateful! Through her wonderful combination of grace, comedy, and tough love, Francesca has guided us on how to recognize, manage, and heal our attachment styles, and we are now in a wonderfully secure place. In fact, our third (!) wedding anniversary is coming up, and we feel that our communication and intimacy are stronger than ever. Our bond today reflects both Francesca’s willingness to challenge us and our commitments to putting in some (very hard, but totally worth it!) work. We have become huge advocates for therapy (individual and couples) and wish that all our friends and family would be so lucky as to have a therapist like Francesca!

I reached out to Francesca for the first time in the fall of 2021. My sister had passed away from cancer a number of years before, and the medical mind-set of the pandemic had cracked open past trauma I had been avoiding, manifesting in anxiety attacks that left my husband concerned for my mental well-being. After the first few minutes on the phone with Francesca, already comfortable enough in her presence to be in tears, she said to me: “an anxiety disorder and grief are not the same thing. I hear someone who is grieving.” I instantly felt seen and understood and cared for — and it has been that way ever since. I had seen therapists before, and they were always a safe space to vent, but what’s so special to me about Francesca is her ability to challenge my way of being and reframe my thinking—we are always in a dialogue, it never feels one-sided. In the three years I have been working with Francesca, I have gained confidence, independence, and compassion for myself and others. My career, my marriage, and my friendships have all flourished because of that. My anxiety has decreased significantly and I’ve been given the tools to manage it on my own when triggers inevitably arise.

Before we began, I felt encumbered by issues that clouded my vision and weighed on my heart. Her expertise, empathy, and guidance created a safe and nurturing space for me to explore and confront my innermost feelings and memories. The therapy sessions, augmented by insightful debriefs, have been pivotal in helping me understand and heal aspects of myself I never thought possible. Francesca’s professionalism and care have made all the difference in my healing process. I am profoundly grateful for her guidance in my journey toward healing and self-discovery.”
