Life is not always easy. Transitions, such as becoming a teen or adult, getting married, becoming a parent, or changing careers can be welcome changes but can also be hard to get through. We also come across challenges in our day to day life that we may have a hard time coping with. Sometimes these things lead to issues like anxiety, depression, grief, struggles in relationships, or issues with school or work. My background in both Social Work and Child Development gives me a unique, holistic perspective that informs my practice with both teens and adults as they move through the changes that come with their lives.

Available appointments from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Hi, I’m Betsey. I try to provide a safe and supportive space and I do this with a warm and direct communication style. I also use humor when it's appropriate, believing that laughter is good medicine.

I believe my clients deserve to be understood, valued, and given the opportunity to gain the tools for a more fulfilling life. When working as a team, we use our strengths to achieve the best outcome. I believe clients are the professionals on themselves and I offer the professional knowledge and therapeutic tools. Together we can identify the problem areas and find solutions for success and relief. My goal is to help my clients not feel alone with their struggles and to feel competent to deal with whatever life throws their way.

I am a Registered Play Therapist & use play therapy with all ages of clients. I strive to form a trusting & therapeutic relationship with my clients through acceptance & understanding. I work with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, poor self-esteem, difficulty with peers, or difficulty adjusting to life changes. We form a treatment plan that when accomplished, have the client leaving therapy with a deeper understanding of how to use the coping skills that work for them, how the systems they are a part of effect them & how to address any conflict with in them, & a deeper kindness & love towards self.

There's this lingering sense of negativity, self-doubt, and not being good enough. Stress is accumulating and the demands you're facing are outweighing your resources. Your drive to reach goals, connect with others, and enjoy life is declining. You notice that same cycle of perfectionism, anxiety, and shame repeating itself, causing you to feel trapped, overwhelmed, and powerless. It's not just affecting your mind. It's also taking a toll on your body and your relationships. Avoid the burnout. Make a choice to make a change.

As a therapist, I have a warm and compassionate approach to help guide you through the therapy process. I work collaboratively with clients to understand their life circumstances and help them overcome obstacles to their problems. I have an innate ability to tune into the nuances of my clients that I continue to refine through years in practice. This helps clients feel more understood and compassionate towards themselves and their feelings. When one is compassionately present with their feelings they start to have clarity as they access their core inner wisdom. This clarity and wisdom helps them to successfully identify what works best for them.

Whatever struggle is motivating you to start counseling, something inside is knocking. The knock may be feeling depressed, anxious, angry, or overwhelmed. It may be feeling disconnected in relationships and from what is meaningful in your life, a sense of emptiness or lack of purpose. It may be unresolved trauma. To answer that knock means to turn inward, which can be challenging and uncomfortable at times, yet I whole-heartedly believe the life you seek is patiently waiting. The pain you are experiencing is actually an invitation for healing and growth. Answer the knock. When things break down, breakthroughs happen.

Couples, Couples. I enjoy working with ALL couples. I have been in over 10,000 conversations during 3+ decades (but this has not made me old.). I team up with you both. BUT... if your other half is not coming, I work with YOU on relationship matters & maybe they will join later. I also offer online Gottman couple assessments & specialize in Emotional Intelligence with comprehensive assessments online as well. I use humor, and directness. No jargon. I do not sit there nodding & smiling like a bobblehead. I speak & ask questions. At the end of our conversation, many clients say, "I never thought about it that way before. Thanks."

If you are struggling with anxiety, a challenging life event, relational discontent, or you are in self-discovery and need a safe space, I am effective in helping individuals and couples make changes by providing a non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts, dreams and your challenges. I love working with women! I will make you feel seen, heard and accepted just as you are…and if you choose to make some changes, I will walk alongside you as you grow in your worth and strength.

My goal is meet you in your struggle. Whether it’s grief, anxiety, loss, life transitions or relationship issues, we can work to navigate these difficult times together. The path can be windy often giving us unexpected challenges with little warning or preparation. Your thoughts, feelings, fears and hopes can be shared aloud in a safe space.
