About me

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.

Early on in my career, I worked with Child Protective Services. It was very rewarding, working with families and helping them stay together. After about three years there, I started to work with teens. Some were ordered to counseling by the courts and others were troubled kids who were often referred by schools or parents. I related very well with them and found this work to be so rewarding. I often ran into clients later on who thanked me for helping them to get on the right track and become successful in their lives.
Being able to make a difference makes my work valuable and important to me.

Written on Mar 21, 2024 after therapy with Bette for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship

Bette has clearly worked with many couples - she doesn't push any particular vision of what a couple "should" be like, she just listens to what is and isn't working for you. She is responsive, professional, and gives just the right amount of gentle push-back when you're stuck in old habits that are hurting your relationship.

Bette has been a huge support system for me over over the last couple months. I was in a dark place, uncertainty filled my days. She was able to work with me to remind me of my value and my worth, setting boundaries and working through emotions. Working with Bette has been a positive experience and I am in a much better and peaceful place than I've been in years!

She has provided me with some effective strategies which helped me to work through my issues in a positive way. Bette listens to what I have to say and does not delay in replying.

Written on Jun 24, 2017 after therapy with Bette for 1 year and 10 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship, trauma and abuse, eating, parenting, self esteem, anger, career, and depression

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.

She knows how to listen and tell you what you NEED to hear. I am forever grateful for her support and guidance. She just has this way of 'clicking' with what you are saying.

Written on Apr 17, 2016 after therapy with Bette for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship, intimacy-related, anger, and depression

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.
