Meet Beth
Licensed Professional Counselor
I have an expertise in mind-body (or somatic) and neuroscience-based approaches. My passion is helping people change the way they relate to themselves, their struggles, their life, and the people who are important to them. I offer in-person therapy and am deeply committed to a whole-person approach, which means the mind and body—in unison—are considered in therapy.
Our mind signals our body, and vice-versa.
Our mind and body are always in conversation. We feel anxiety in our bodies. We feel sluggish when we’re depressed. We lose touch with our bodies when we’re stuck in our thoughts. And when we’re hurt or angry, our heart rate spikes.
It’s all connected — a whole mind-body experience. Therapy with me is more than just sitting in a chair.
I have more than 25 years of professional experience and am dedicated to studying and offering leading-edge modalities for deep, lasting change.
As a lifelong athlete, student, soul traveler, doer, connector, and creator, much of what I have sought out is rooted in my own experiences, resulting in an immense belief in each modality I offer.
My clients often feel understood. My work is not based solely on what I have read in a book, although that is not to be overlooked; however, I lead from an energetic resonance with each client. This is the basis that informs my belief that healing is not something we learn or read about—it is the felt experience and the relationship we develop between our most wise parts and our deeply hurt and struggling parts of ourselves. I believe in the power of being witnessed, as shame often prevents us from revealing all of who we are. This approach has prepared me to be firmly committed to each client’s growth.
If you are seeking a new direction and new possibilities with the modalities I offer, please reach out to me.
Therapy is customized to meet your needs with the goal of helping you break free from your long-standing patterns and live a more satisfying life.
