I saw her briefly at a time when my life was falling apart, and I needed wisdom and compassion. Instead, I got cold judgement. She told me to trust myself on some actions I needed to take ( or not) and then was really dismissive with me when she disagreed with my decision. Not only did I pay her a lot of money since she doesn't take insurance, I ended up feeling terrible about myself. It was a few years ago, and I still have an awful feeling every time I think of her.

Bette is one of the kindest, most understanding and sympathetic souls I have met. She has enormous empathy and extremely supportive. She also isn't afraid to go where you need to go and supports you along the way. She does push you to find your peace. She makes your goal her goal.

I highly recommend Bette to anyone looking for help. She is easily approachable and is vigilant to be sure you are keeping your footing. She guides you along a rocky path with a gentle hand and gets you to the clearing safely.
