I am accepting clients via in person and telehealth.
Hi, I’m Alle bettale.
As a grief and trauma therapist, my approach is grounded in compassion, patience, and a deep respect for each individual’s unique lived experiences. I specialize in helping people navigate the complex and often painful emotions that arise from loss, trauma, and other major life transitions/events. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it’s my belief that healing happens when we allow ourselves to fully acknowledge and process the messy, uncomfortable, and occasionally unbearable parts of our experience. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions at your own pace, with the understanding that healing is not linear and can take time.
My empathy is rooted in my own life experiences, having navigated times of significant loss—both of others and of myself. These periods often leave us feeling stuck and disconnected from ourselves and those around us. However, I hold deep gratitude for each of these moments, as they have encouraged curiosity and prompted reconnection. Through our work together, you’ll gain deeper insight into your emotions, learn to manage the waves of grief and trauma, and ultimately, find a path to peace and healing.
With over 5 years of experience in therapy, I have had the privilege of working with diverse clients from various backgrounds, each with their unique stories and experiences. Throughout my career, I have gained expertise in grief, loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions and codependency.

My Approach
In our work together, I draw from both person-centered and relational therapy perspectives, which complement each other in creating a space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and supported. What is important to remember throughout this process is that it’s not about fixing or forcing yourself to move on. It’s about making space to understand how these two experiences might be impacting you and working with them, rather than against them. Healing comes from learning to sit with both the grief and the trauma, understanding how they show up, and finding ways to navigate them in a way that doesn’t overwhelm you.
One of the most important things I can offer is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express what you're going through—whether it’s grief, trauma, or both. Sometimes, just having a place where you can feel heard and understood can be incredibly healing. I’ll help you explore the emotions and thoughts that come up, and we can work through them at a pace that feels right for you. There’s no rush or pressure here.
Meeting you where you’re at.
You’re in control of this process. I’ll walk beside you at a pace that feels right for you, whether that means taking small steps or diving deeper into the work when you're ready. There’s no pressure to move faster than you can manage. The healing process is unique to each person, and I’m here to support you, not rush you through it. Ultimately, my goal is to be a guide and a support as you process your grief and trauma. I’m here to listen, to help you make sense of your experience, and to offer the tools and insights that can support you on your path to healing. You don’t have to go through this alone—together, we can navigate it.

Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and asking for support takes a lot of courage and energy. It's okay if you are not sure where to begin—I’m here to make that first step as simple as possible. Just send me a message or give me a call with your contact info, and I’ll do the rest. I’m here when you’re ready.
