I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Florida. I have more than 14 years experience in the medical and mental health field. I received a masters degree, bachelors degree, and aging certificate from Florida Atlantic University. I graduated with highest honors from the college of social work. I have dedicated half my life to the field of mental health, in particular, codependency and empowerment. I completed my internships and was hired by a local hospice. My specialties there were grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, anger. My treatment approach is rather laid back, but is set on the foundation of having a therapeutic relationship, to include using theory's such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness. It has been an honor and privilege to assist people through some of the most difficult times of their lives. I love to watch people grow and become empowered to make their own life choices and decisions.

I have struggled for years to engage in therapy with a therapist who I feel is knowledgeable. I was hesistant to use the betterhelp platform but my experience has been amazing. Betty has made such a difference in my life in such a short time. I would definitely recommend working with Betty!

Betty is a kind and genuine soul. She does not push her views but blends her expertise with your needs. I highly recommend her for anyone with familial relationship issues. Especially if you think you may have codependent tendencies.

I spent a few months with Betty working through various topics. She has helped me become the most wholehearted version of myself and I've never felt better. She is so kind and very relatable- and frankly my biggest fan! I've stopped therapy now because I think she has set me up with all of the tools I need to take on the world. I can't thank her enough for all that she has done. I HIGHLY recommend her!

Betty has been an incredible help in discovering how to better myself, FOR myself.

After life altering changes in December 2020, I was just in a big funk. My best friend was my recliner. No TV, or friends or anything. I saw the ad for BetterHelp on something and had been thinking I needed to get out of this funk and did realize I needed a hand. BetterHelp & Betty to the rescue! Just the acknowledgment of my feelings, then allowing me to work through them was brilliant. I did not make it particularly easy for her in that I write everything as opposed to a video chat or other method, but she’s always right there and says exactly the right thing.
I’m out of my funk for now. If I ever need Betty or BetterHelp again I will reach out. I’ve already recommended it to a couple people who could use a bit of help getting out of their funk.

Counseling sessions with her are like having a friend sitting on the front porch sipping a mint julep or tea and talking about uncomfortable topics in a comforting way. Then getting busy digging the weeds out of the flowerbed of my life.
