Dr. Murray is extraordinary at what she does. Working with her has been life-changing. The tools she has given me have allowed me to face my challenges head-on and accomplish my goals. She speaks life into me and teaches me how to do it for myself. One of my biggest struggles is seeking validation from others. Dr. Murray taught me to trust God and seek his validation. That has truly been rewarding. I am a testimony of what prayer and a good therapist can do!

Dr. Murray has been such a blessing in my life. I have been seeing her for almost 3 years now and I can go on and on on how amazing she is. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, kind, and just is genuinely invested in you. She helps me stay on track of things when life is just feeling overwhelming, she encourages and motivates me to do the things I feel that I can’t do or am procrastinating on doing. Dr.Murray is truly amazing at what she does.. the list goes on and on. I don’t know where I’d be if it wasn’t for her and I mean that so much. Thank you BetterHelp for helping me find not just a therapist but MY therapist, my biggest supporter, my confidant, my friend.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida and I have worked in the field providing client focused therapy to clients of all ages and stages in life. I am a graduate of Nova Southeastern University and I came to the field because I enjoy hearing stories, and the opportunity to help others create new life stories. My goal is always to offer a safe space to process and work through the various challenges that life presents. In that safe space, it is my sincere honor to listen to your needs and concerns and partner with you to create a plan to help you meet those challenges as they come, judgement free. I also work with couples and families, helping to positively change relational and communication patterns. I also enjoy working with families with members living with Alzheimer's disease, or other Dementias, Cancer and other chronic illnesses, to help them navigate the anxiety and to prepare for the journey these illness' can take them on. Whatever side of this experience you find yourself on, I would like to be there to help.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Therapy with Dr. Murray has changed my life. In my darkest hours she was able to help my find my way out of the debilitating anxiety I had been experiencing for a long while. I know I will likely always struggle with anxiety, but with the help of Dr. Murray I have found ways to better understand my triggers, my anxiety as a whole, and ways to cope with negative thoughts that may come into my head. I can’t say enough good things, and I don’t have the right words to best explain how thankful I am for Dr. Murray’s calming presence and beautiful words of encouragement and praise. She truly makes me feel heard.
