New to Grow
Hi, I'm Betty, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I'm passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges in a supportive, compassionate, and judgment-free environment. My practice is centered on building genuine connections and providing personalized care, empowering clients to better understand themselves, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change while fostering resilience, confidence, and hope for the future.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, and what you hope to gain from our work together. I'll also ask questions about your background and experiences to better understand your unique story. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. By the end of our session, we'll begin identifying your goals and discuss how we can work together to support your growth and well-being.
My life experiences have shaped my belief that healing and growth are rarely linear. They’ve helped me appreciate the courage it takes to ask for support and the importance of having a space where people feel truly seen and understood. Because of this, I approach therapy with compassion, humility, and respect for each client’s unique journey. I strive to meet people where they are, recognize the strengths they already possess, and help them navigate challenges in a way that feels authentic and sustainable for them
I enjoy working with people who are looking for a supportive, collaborative space to navigate life's challenges and invest in their personal growth. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, or feeling stuck, therapy can provide an opportunity to gain insight, build resilience, and develop healthier ways of coping. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and believe in meeting each person where they are, tailoring our work together to their unique needs, values, and goals.
Other specialties
I identify as
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I believe meaningful change begins with feeling truly heard and understood. Using a person-centered approach, I create a warm, collaborative space where we work together to explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and develop strategies that support your goals. Every client is unique, so I tailor therapy to meet your individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
