Great to meet you!

Hi! My name is Betty and I have 10+ years specializing in stress management, anxiety and depressive symptoms using CBT, Mindfulness and strength-based modalities. Clients can expect a thoughtful blend of strong clinical expertise and genuine empathy creating a supportive space where lasting mental wellbeing can truly take place.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in strong evidence-based practices while also being warm, collaborative and deeply respectful of your unique story. I strive to create a space where you feel heard and supported while also being thoughtfully challenged in ways that fosters meaningful growth. My goal isn't to just achieve symptom relief but to help you develop insight, confidence and strategies that support lasting mental and emotional well-being long after our work together is complete.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space where we begin to explore what has brought you to therapy. I'll get to know you, your story, your challenges and your strengths. Together we will identify meaningful goals to work towards. And you'll have a better understanding of what you can expect going forward.
