Hi, I’m Betsy. I’m a licensed therapist who works with teens and adults who are dealing with anxiety, intense emotions, trauma, or patterns that they understand but haven’t been able to change.

I know therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re new to it or you’ve worked with a therapist before and didn’t feel like it was particularly helpful. My style is warm, straightforward, and collaborative. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself in therapy—whether that means asking questions, disagreeing with me, laughing, or telling me when something isn’t working.

I’m also an active therapist. I won’t just sit back and expect you to do all the talking. We’ll work together to understand what’s keeping you stuck, and I’ll help you build practical skills and try new ways of responding to the things that are difficult for you.

My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches including DBT, CBT, and CPT, but therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’ll use the approaches that make sense for you and what you want to change.
