About Me
Hello! I’m Beth.
I’m a Brainspotting-certified therapist eager to help you feel more at home within yourself. In my practice, I support individuals who want to find more acceptance, wholeness, and aliveness in all of who they are. I work with people who feel suffocated by self-criticism, doubt, sadness, anxiety, overwhelm, or fear, as well as people who are navigating what it means to show up as themselves in various areas of their life. I fully believe that being heard, seen, and witnessed without judgment by another human is one of the most healing experiences we can have. Being that witness for others is a gift I am grateful for every day.
My Approach
My approach is grounded in existential and humanistic theories, with a focus on integrating mindfulness and compassion into relationships with self and others. I utilize Brainspotting, somatic and narrative tools, and also integrate the latest research in attachment, neurobiology and trauma. I serve not as an expert or someone with all the answers, but as a collaborative guide who values and deeply respects who my clients are and the wisdom they already have within.
