Betty's approach
Every session, group, and training Betty leads is shaped by three core commitments.
Strengths-based
Betty starts with what's working. Rather than focusing solely on problems, she helps clients identify and build on their existing strengths, resilience, and resources.
Spiritually grounded
Faith and spirituality are woven into Betty's practice for those who welcome it. Her work is inspired by Ephesians 4:22-24 — the call to be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
Trauma-informed
Betty approaches every client with an awareness of how past experiences shape present behavior. Her practice is safe, non-judgmental, and sensitive to the complexity of each person's story.
Who Betty works with
Betty works with a broad range of individuals and groups — from youth navigating school and identity, to adults managing life transitions, to counselors building their clinical careers.
