Nova is a very special therapist and I don't throw that around lightly. She has a beautiful blend of non-judgmental listening and sympathizing with showing you where you are tripping yourself up. Nova really helped me break down a lot of assumptions that I had about myself and gave me the tools how to move past them. We inevitably end up laughing and crying and I always leave her feeling lighter than I did when I walked in.

I strongly recommend Nova to anyone who is going through a time of uncertainty or frankly – just needs someone to bring a new perspective to their life.  Nova’s amazing at listening, relating, and then working through the issue at hand. She never talked over me and always had a genuine interest in what I was talking about. While some other therapists would be pushy about trying to get maximum sessions or just be uninterested, Nova provided an honest assessment and really helped me turn a corner during a tough time in my life.

Nova helped me during a time of major transition in my life. I was struggling to find my way and Nova cleared the path for me. Nova is supportive, empathetic, intuitive, insightful and honest. She made me feel comfortable immediately. She prompted me to articulate what I wanted and helped me map out a plan for achieving my goals. I always left Nova’s office feeling happier and lighter than when I walked in. Nova is the best girlfriend (with the qualifications of a therapist) that everyone wants to have.

I can’t say enough good things about my work with Nova. She provided me with invaluable tools and was instrumental in helping me to navigate significant life challenges and transitions. Her solution-based approach was a great fit for me and I found her to be incredibly insightful, empathetic, authentic and engaged. She clearly cares deeply about her clients and really focuses on individually-tailored ways to help reach life goals.

Nova has an amazing talent for asking the right questions and offering observations that empower her clients to gain new perspectives, understanding and make decisions themselves, without ever forcing opinions or passing judgment. I am so grateful to Nova for helping me bring more clarity and calm into my life and would recommend her to anyone!

We started working with Nova shortly after we moved to San Francisco and had our first child.  At the time, we were also going through a variety of professional and personal challenges that put pressure on our relationship and us as individuals.  With Nova’s help, we were able to improve our communication as a couple, better understand ourselves and each other and improve our outlook on life and our future.

Nova is a wonderful, intelligent therapist who truly cares about her clients.  She listens incredibly well, takes the time to fully understand her clients and their challenges, shares her thoughts and insights and provides much needed suggestions and guidance.

Nova's basically my favorite person ever. Heading into every chat with her, no matter how I was feeling, I always came out feNova is excellent. You will be respected, your time will be used efficiently without feeling like you're "just another client."She has a caring, thoughtful personality and I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't gain from time with her.

All of the sessions were efficient without feeling like I was just "another client" and I always felt meaningful progress was made during each session. She definitely cares about you, and is energized by diving into what you have going on and how to help.

The only way I can express how wonderful Nova is, is to tell you that I stopped seeing her after four sessions. Oh yeah. She's *that* good. What I loved most about working with Nova is that she didn't need to hear every little thing about every experience in my life. I came in with a purpose and left with a new and improved carefree attitude that I've taken into my relationships. She's like a best friend and the mother you wished you had and your favorite childhood teacher all rolled into one.

I really enjoyed working with Nova and our sessions have been hugely helpful. Each time, I left her office feeling refreshed and motivated to make changes that I can feel really good about. I’ve been raving about Nova to my friends and I hope to come back in every now and then for little “tune ups.”
