- “She is very easy to talk to, and always bring faith into the conversation. Feelings (how I feel when I’m upset) vs. facts (how God sees it)!!”
- “She was wonderful, kind, and helpful.”
- “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
- “She is the best therapist ever.”
- “Very kind. I’ve always been searching for a faith based therapist and she is the PERFECT addition to my team. I struggle a lot through out the week and deeply look forward to talking with her. She’s not one of those therapists that is just going to stroke your ego the entire time, I truly feel she wants me to get better because she kind of kindly calls me out when I need it. Which trust I do need sometimes. Haha She has changed my life for the better and when BetterHelp didn’t take insurance I wasn’t able to afford seeing her out of pocket and let me tell you my mental health declined. She’s a joy to have.”
