Hello,
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and hold an MEd in Community Counseling from the University of Miami, Florida. I have had many years of experience counseling people who are suffering from anxiety and depression, PTSD, loss and grief, relationship issues and other problems in the field of mental health. I am confident that together we can identify the issues that are troubling you and work together to help you feel better and stronger.
While a Client-Centered approach and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are my main treatment modalities, I use others as dictated by my client's needs. The relationship between client and therapist, between you and me, is foremost and will be one of acceptance and trust. Being able to speak freely gives us the opportunity to work through your issues, thus realizing positive mental health.
I look forward to sharing this journey with you!

Betty is the best therapist that I have ever had (and I've had many). She's thoughtful and gets right to the problems you're facing. She's made me feel that I have a support system. I love Betty and highly recommend her.

Betty has been my therapist through Better Help for a year. She has taught me how to switch my thought when I am having a hard time. I am finally caring for myself and thriving. Betty cares about me and my progress. My mental wellness is a priority for her.

Betty was a tremendous help at a very rough time in my life. She was not only a listening ear but also an impartial advisor. Her supportive words and practical "homework" really helped guide me and give me the tools to navigate tough moments in my personal and professional life.
I have had four therapists before connecting with Betty. My experience working with her is by far the best. She really cares about her clients and makes them feel heard. The world needs more people like Betty.

Wow! I’ve been with Betty since summer? Went to her for very good reasons, sorting out my life, my marriage, my joys, my need to slow down, etc. just wanted a non-friend or family person to be really honest with and call my bul**it.

When I was about to start therapy, I was very nervous. Nervous of sharing my most intimate thoughts and exposing myself, but Betty made that feeling go away as soon as I talked to her. She made me feel really comfortable speaking my thoughts out loud, and she was a great listener. She helped me see things from a different perspective, and gave me many tips to deal with my issues. I hear her voice in my head now in certain situations, and I feel grateful of having her as my therapist. Thank you Betty, for making me feel I was just talking to a close friend.

Betty has been wonderful to have as my therapist. I have struggled with anxiety for most of my life and also tend to have social anxiety. The moment Betty and I started our sessions I felt comfortable and at ease. I have never felt judged nor have I ever felt that Betty came off as "fake." Betty has helped me through some very difficult moments in my personal life and I am extremely grateful to have her in my life. I would recommend Betty to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable therapist.

Wonderfully patient and kind. I've very much enjoyed our sessions and found them to be helpful!
Written on Dec 16, 2020 after therapy with Betty for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes
As someone going to therapy for the first time, I had certain ideas and anxieties about what it would be like. Betty exceeded all of my expectations and calmed any nervousness I felt prior to our sessions.
Throughout my time with Betty, she has truly lifted me out of some of the most difficult experiences of my life. She has exquisitely helped me through difficult life changes, family discord, childhood trauma, and PTSD from relationship abuse. Regardless of the subject matter, I know that we will laugh together in our session at least once and I always feel inspired after finishing time with her.
I wish everyone could have Betty as their therapist; the world would be a kinder, more communicative, and appreciative place. I feel lucky to have her in my life.

Betty is great, professional, concise, and addresses my questions, comments, concerns.
Better Help: Don't really like paying on a weekly basis for a service I may utilize 2 x per month as opposed to weekly.
