Awesome therapist who listens and is very knowledgeable. Takes a lot for me to be comfortable and she makes me feel comfortable to talk about anything. She is the best!

Excellent therapist, probably the best I’ve ever had. BetterHelp is very convenient and very economical, I feel like the quality of the care I receive is in no way hindered by the lack of in person interaction.
