A warm and trusting relationship is an integral to my work as a counselor. I enjoy helping my clients heal, regulate moods and become more resilient. For more than a decade, I have helped clients to alleviate depression and anxiety, heal from trauma, and improve relationships.

We all have that voice in our heads saying we are not good enough, not attractive enough, not capable, or somehow inferior. A lifetime of living in a normative culture that dismisses or marginalizes our identities and individuality has led a lot of us to feel uncertain, frightened, anxious, depressed, or struggling with other mental health issues.I am a gender affirming queer positive therapist with a lifelong commitment to social justice that includes advocating for access to mental health care for all.

If you or your teen are struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, relationship stressors, focus, and low motivation, I can help.

My therapeutic process helps you explore your inner dialogue to see what impact your thoughts have on your mood, behavior, and self-worth.

Not sure if your stress in life is “enough” to need therapy? Good therapy is built on a relationship of warmth, empathy, and authenticity.

I can help you embrace the strengths you innately possess to have joy, laughter, and contentment in life.

So it’s gotten to this point. you’re on Psychology Today looking for a therapist. Maybe it’s the 1st time or the 7th time, but things are finally at the point where something needs to change.

Trying to find a therapist who has both expertise and understands you is hard work! But finding that right fit is not optional, it is essential for you to meet your goals. Many of Beth’s clients have reported feeling more understood by her than any previous therapist.

Through working with Beth in individual therapy, many clients attest to managing their symptoms of depression, PTSD, addiction, and anxiety, and feel better equipped to tackle their life circumstances.

For the past 16 yrs I've worked primarily with children & adolescents* on the autism spectrum. Of course working with children means working with parents; partnering with parents is essential so that the progress we make in sessions carries over to everyday family life. There is nothing better than finding the "secret" to reaching a child and seeing them blossom before your eyes. It might not happen overnight, but believe me, it happens. To make the most progress, children should begin therapy as early as possible. * I can see adult clients and couples, wkdays between 11 am - 2 pm.

I have devoted my career to guiding individuals through the intricate paths of healing from addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

I am excited about the opportunity to continue my journey, leveraging my expertise and passion to serve those seeking healing, restoration, and empowerment on their personal journeys toward wholeness.
