I help women move forward and rebuild after divorce or difficult breakup, couples find clarity in their relationship, and families dealing with the aftermath of divorce. My passion is supporting clients as they navigate life’s toughest moments, as these life transitions can have you feeling all the things – overwhelmed, scared, sad, angry, and frustrated. Adjusting to and accepting these changes can be hard to handle on your own, so that's where I come in. I support you as you figure out next steps, manage relational conflict or make a life-changing decision. The goal is to empower you to make decisions that will honor you.

Hi there, I’m Betsy. I believe that while pain and loss are inescapable facets of the human experience, we can integrate them into the rest of our story when we connect to the safe presence of another. My guiding belief as a therapist is that you have an inner healing intelligence inside of you, and it’s our collaborative work to cultivate your relationship to them by processing old wounds and gently examining that which no longer serves you as you slowly come to reclaim your whole self. I work with adults who have experienced complex trauma, religious harm and deconstruction, end of life, and grief and loss.

We all desire - and deserve - to be seen and celebrated for who we are. However, we can often get in our own way, putting heavy burdens and unrealistic expectations on ourselves and believing them to be true and necessary. We convince ourselves that our lives won’t change, that there’s something wrong with us, or that we don’t deserve better. We hide and twist ourselves to please everyone else, we get really good at pretending, or we start doing things that mask our pain, and we lose ourselves, our joy, and our connection to others in the process. I work with teens 16+ and adults of all ages and genders in their journey forward.

Many of my clients come to therapy because they don't feel confident, safe, or at peace in themselves, how they connect with others, or how they fit in the world. These areas are at the core of who you are and how you interact in the world. At times, it may be difficult to move forward and you may feel stuck. You may feel disconnected, unfulfilled, or overwhelmed. This can affect relationships, work, and your sense of self. It can be difficult to find your way back to yourself and the life you want to build. I'm passionate about helping people navigate this journey. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, life transitions and identity.

I love working with clients that are actively on the path of healing. I have extensive experience working with addiction (both process and substance) and trauma and welcome sober and newly sober people to step in to a process with me. I am an 'out of the box' therapist and work best with those that are open to doing their therapeutic work 'beyond the talking'. In addition to recovery I love to help people identify ways in which to be more fully who they know inside that they are - even if they don't have the fully formed picture of what that is yet!

Every individual is worthy of healing and peace, and my favorite part about working with clients is working with them as they find the courage to live out this belief. Journeys of healing are sometimes scary, so using a holistic and collaborative approach, I endeavor to create a space that is nonjudgmental, safe, and peaceful as I aid clients in their work. My approach to therapy includes a combination of evidence-based practices including Restoration therapy and Internal Family Systems therapy, as well as Gottman Method interventions, common factors, and the expressive arts.
