More about Bette

  • 26 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience in private practice. I am down to earth and pretty much laid back, with a great sense of humor. My approach is holistic, mindful and eclectic using cognitive behavioral and other therapeutic methods as needed. I have worked with clients of all ages and from all walks of life.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, self esteem, sexual abuse, domestic violence, parenting, life transitions, blended families, and many other issues that concern my clients.

I work well with most people, regardless of their spiritual, religious beliefs or political beliefs. I am non-judgmental and do not criticize. I will be supportive and encouraging as you navigate this journey to feel better.

I will use my intuitive nature and empathetic feelings to help you work through difficult times. I want you to know that you do not have to do this alone. I am here to be with you in that place and be sensitive to your needs and concerns. I will provide you with a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings, and sort through whatever is on your mind. Together we will look at the obstacles you are facing, and work at breaking them down. We will maximize your strengths, and help you to put forth the best version of yourself.

I look forward to meeting you!

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I have been working with Bette for about a year, and she has been so helpful to me. I hit midlife with a lot of complex issues, and with Bette' s guidance, I see the issues more clearly, have attainable goals, and am working on plans to achieve those goals. I have very little family support, and knowing that Bette is there is such a great thing. She always listens and always responds in a very timely way. I am very grateful to have Bette as my therapist.

Bette is very easy to talk to and helpful without seeming pushy. She demonstrates that trait common to all good counselors: the ability to listen well. She offers candid, considered advice in just the right amounts where it is needed. She has helped me realize certain decisions that I didn't even realize that I had made. That is the hallmark of a skilled therapist. It feels natural to talk to her and she fosters a sense of trust effortlessly. I highly recommend her.
