We love working with Deanna for couples therapy! We appreciate how she asks thoughtful questions AND gently says the things that might be hard to hear. We leave sessions feeling listened to and we also find it very helpful to meet with a counselor that shares the same faith. We highly recommend working with Deanna!

I’m so grateful to have found a therapist who has helped me develop meaningful skills while incorporating faith into our sessions in such an authentic and genuine way. I especially appreciate how she asks, “What do you need today?” Even when I don’t have the answer, she patiently helps me work through my thoughts and emotions until I can identify what I need and what I want to focus on. She creates a safe, supportive space where I feel heard, understood, and encouraged to keep growing. Her approach has made such a positive impact on my journey, and I truly appreciate the care and intention she brings to every session.

Deanna has been such a wonderful resource for both of us. She is kind, patient, and genuinely invested in helping couples grow together. We started seeing her before getting married, not just to navigate challenges, but to build healthy habits and a stronger foundation for our relationship.
She creates a safe, judgment-free space where we both feel heard and understood, while also challenging us to reflect, communicate better, and show up as stronger partners. What we especially appreciate is her ability to make therapy feel approachable and practical. She breaks down complex emotions and relationship dynamics in a way that truly makes sense (even down to the feelings chart!).
Her guidance is thoughtful, balanced, and compassionate, and the tools she's given us extend well beyond our sessions. We're so grateful for the care and perspective she brings to our relationship and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking to better understand themselves and each other.
