I specialize in the areas of stress, anxiety, depression, self-worth, irrational and ruminating thoughts, grief, trauma, life transitions, relational distress, communication and intimacy concerns, emotional healing, infidelity, and the challenges and opportunities of blended families.

During hard times, we can lose our sense of self and struggle to get it back. We are all complex multifaceted people with many different parts of us, which can often cause symptoms that get in the way of relationships, productivity, or cause feelings of depression, anxiety and hopelessness. Together, let's work to recover your sense of well-being and then build a life where you are thriving beyond your struggles. I utilize IFS as a primary modality as well as take an eclectic approach, meaning I use a variety of techniques based on what your situation calls for, at the time you need it the most.

I am a licensed psychotherapist, who works with individuals, couples, and/or families using compassionate, directive, evidence-based therapy. Do you wish to have more control over your words, thoughts, and behavior? Are you suffering from anxiety? I would feel privileged to help you discover personal roadblocks, & reveal blind spots that have kept you from moving forward for too long. I'll not only teach self-insight, but I'll also teach skills & provide resources, so you can be empowered to help yourself.

Is your young child struggling with big emotions? These can be tantrums that seem impossible to calm, anxiety separating from caregivers, or acting withdrawn and not like themselves? Is your family experiencing big transitions like divorce, moving, or a new sibling? It can be overwhelming and heartbreaking watching our children struggle without being sure how to help them cope.

If you weren't feeling overwhelmed by life before beginning your search for a therapist, I imagine you're starting to feel it now! Finding the perfect match is a daunting process, but I can already see how courageous you are in undertaking the task. Whether you are here hoping to achieve clarity, build resilience, improve your overall well-being, or to find some relief from the painful experiences of life, I have a spot on the couch saved just for you. My practice is dedicated to creating space for you to explore your emotions and experiences in new ways that will allow for genuine connection and authenticity to flourish.

Life never seems to slow down, throwing unexpected curves at us that seemingly come out of nowhere and often leave us feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, and disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world around us. Regardless of where you are in life, my goal is to provide a space where you can feel understood, supported, & empowered. I can help you explore difficult emotions, strengthen relationships with yourself and others, and develop healthy communication skills, boundaries, and coping skills. I would be honored to meet you wherever you are and walk with you on your journey toward mental and emotional wellness.

I believe emotional balance and connection are the keys to healing and wellbeing. Sometimes, we can feel stuck or lost and I'm here to provide a supportive space to work through life's difficulties. Seeing a therapist does not mean you are broken, it means that you value living a life where you can flourish.

Years of deep, heavy, or significant trauma? Feeling broken and unfixable? You are the person I want to work with! This trauma causes intrusive thoughts, memories, flashbacks, a short temper, reckless behavior, or a negative emotional state. We will do real work to understand why your behaviors and thoughts are the way they are, and we will find solutions and answers. I do not believe therapy should last years and my sessions reflect this.

Do you feel constantly overwhelmed & burnt out, but can't seem to say "no" to anyone? Do you find yourself going above & beyond for everyone else & just wanting the same in return? Do you feel like you don't know who you are, but there is a part of you that feels like she isn't good enough? I help women just like you learn how to navigate relationships, build self-confidence, challenge anxious thoughts, & learn how create healthy boundaries - all of the the stuff you wish they taught in school. It might feel like you are falling behind and changing things in your life is impossible, but you not only can do it, you deserve it.

Are you a mid-life woman overwhelmed and stressed because you constantly prioritize others' needs over your own? Do you feel burnt out from being a people-pleaser who carries the mental load for your family? Is continually giving and never receiving and it is negatively impacting your self-esteem and self-worth? Do you feel constant anxiety and pressure from managing too many responsibilities but fear that, at any moment, everything will come crashing down? If you are struggling with making yourself a priority and setting healthy boundaries, I get it, and I can help. I can help you create a plan to reclaim your life.

I work with high-achieving professionals and leaders that want to change their personal and/or professional contexts. I primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help people increase their insight and awareness in order to clarify change and move forward. Additionally, I help people co-construct, envision and achieve personal and professional goals. Using Systems Theory, I provide an analysis of relational contexts as it supports goals and desired change.

There is no problem too big or too small to address. My main goal as a therapist is to meet the client where they are at and create a safe environment for growing, feeling heard, and learning. Coming from a non judgmental and supportive stance I serve individuals of all backgrounds.

Amy believes that the most important part of her role as a counselor is the caring relationship she creates with her clients. When people feel safe, supported and valued, they are able to take steps forward to make meaningful changes in their lives. Amy approaches her clients from a non-judgmental viewpoint. She will help clients navigate the stressors and challenges of life by validating feelings and then creating strategies and skills to put them on a path to acceptance, hope, and change. Amy uses a variety of theoretical approaches in order to best meet the needs of each client.

You’re exhausted, and it’s time to find rest and peace. You may be feeling anxious, angry, overwhelmed, or alone. You desire connection in close relationships, but intense feelings often create division. You feel stressed or triggered at times, and you’re not sure why. Quiet peacefulness is what you long for—calm, steady relationships that heal instead of hurt.

I believes in building up small and working up to harder things/issues. I works well with individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, Non-Monogamy/open relationships, and kink friendly. I plan to do Individual, couples, and possibly, a DBT group.

Hello, my name is Beth and I celebrate your courage and wisdom in searching for this site! I celebrate the individual's strengths in a nonjudgmental collaboration. The mind-body-heart connection, awareness, and trust are the foundation of therapy. The goal is always for your voice to be heard and from that voice to move forward towards your heart's calling. There is no one size fits all therapy.

Navigating teen years can be challenging, both for teens and parents! Naturally, adolescence is a time of transition with changes in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. These transitions bring symptoms of anxiety, depression, and unhealthy coping. I help teens to gain insight and provide a new perspective. My goal is for them to learn how to be more self-aware, manage stress, cope with changes, have healthy relationships, build a positive image, and handle difficult situations.

Are you a struggling biological, adoptive, or foster parent? Do you have a biological, adopted, or foster child or adolescent in your home struggling with their emotions and/or behaviors? Are you or others in your home having difficulty connecting/attaching with people and building strong relationships? Are you or others in your home coping with life's complications in ways that are unhealthy or causing more problems? Have you or others in your home experienced trauma? Would you like help in working through these challenges, creating stronger relationships, and finding positive methods to manage and eliminate your suffering?

I believe that we all want to feel respected, valued, significant and safe. So much of our pain and confusion comes from our own (often subconscious) attempts to find this sense of security. While these attempts have helped us make it this far, they often prevent us from living the life we truly long for.
