About me

Hello,

I’m Venus and I’m an individual therapist for Better Help. I became a therapist because I know firsthand the effects of unprocessed trauma. When we don’t deal with our past, it shows up in our present and impacts our future. I am passionate about helping people move past things they’ve experienced that are now holding them back.

Therapy with me feels like a conversation with a cool, wise aunt, someone who knows you’re special, won’t judge you and only wants the best for you. I won’t lecture you. I want to guide you through a particularly rough time.

If you’re ready, and open to trying new things, I will make sure that you have the tools and support you need to change your life.

AMAZING, I look forward to my sessions with her every week. I have seen my anxiety and depression and overall mood take such a huge turn for the better and I can fully say it’s because of Venus. I appreciate her so much.

Where I like to ramble during our sessions, she keeps me in track and in task.

Venus is very easy to talk to!! I felt so heard and seen and she’s been wise counsel.

I feel very heard, by Venus. She can pivot quickly to what becomes a pressing issue.

Fantastic person. Just not sure if it’s the right fit for me personally.
