Is this therapy?
Hi,
I'm Dr. Betty!
Experiences, trials, joys and pain.
Yep. All of those – this is a full meaningful life and I live it too.
I survived a very abusive marriage and in a few short intense years found myself as a single mother of 3. I had to depend on myself to provide for my children in every possible way. I put myself through a masters program and directly into a Ph.D. Degree. I worked full time and loved on my children. Doing that, guess what?…I flourished! I found myself and my life mission of helping others find positivity and strength – courage and power to succeed.
Did that mean then my life became perfect? Well, in some areas close and in others not.
In motherhood I have an attorney, Physician Assistant, a tradesperson, and an addict. Each of them teaching me so much about myself. I hope everyday that the one currently defined by addiction can change that “label.” That is a journey of incomprehensible pain that I continue to maneuver. Yes, you counted 4 children…I did find someone wonderful, bravely married him and he gave me a beautiful wedding gift of an additional child to love.
I have successfully run my own business for over 22 years working with local, national, and international clients and corporations. I practice my own daily well-being structure and share that with others who want to live their best lives. I am never judgmental ( I do not want that job), always hopeful, and thankful to help others flourish in all aspects of their lives.
If I can do it, YOU can too!

What?
Health Esteem, like self esteem, is about confidence and growth individually or in group settings. Living a healthy lifestyle isn't just about what you eat and how much you workout, it's also about your perspective and how you view yourself and those around you. Through Perspective Training, we can work together to grow your confidence and self esteem and self worth so you can life a healthy and joy-filled life!
Why?
I was motivated by an experience as a child when my brother was sick. I realized the doctors were looking at him as just another name on a chart, but not caring about who he was as an individual. After that day, and some "creative" words with the doctor, I wanted to change things and focus on a person's heart and soul.
Where?
While my practice in located in Windsor, Colorado, I don't let geography get in the way of helping others. Whether I have to fly, drive, or connect virtually, I'm ready to help wherever I am needed.

What makes you different than other coaches?
My approach is grounded in the principles of positive psychology & backed by qualitative research.If you looked at my education you can see I love learning and improving myself for my own well-being and working hard with my clients.
Our coaching meetings, whether in person or remote, are confidential & immediately applicable. Each time I meet with a client or team, my personal goal is that they leave with tools and strategies that are relevant and life improving based on their personal strengths.
By learning & using my clients strengths to overcome obstacles, we are able to set & achieve meaningful goals while gaining trust in ourselves & others, building the confidence we need to help live a healthy & positive life.
I am honored with the trust that clients and teams have working with me and understand the strength it takes to reach out in the first place. I am never judging or critical – yet I am direct and and honest when we are working towards positive change (occasionally I'm called “Ugly Betty”, but I take that with love).
