LISW, 29 years of experience
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervisor designation (LISW-S) in Ohio and a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work. I earned my Master’s degree from Case Western Reserve University and completed a Certificate in Sexual Health at the University of Michigan. With 30 years of clinical experience, I bring a depth of knowledge and compassion to my practice. My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Interventions, and Holistic Coaching. I also utilize Affirmative Psychotherapy, meeting clients where they are and supporting growth at their own pace. Clients often describe me as passionate, caring, and infused with a sense of humor—qualities I believe help foster a safe and collaborative space for healing and change.
In our first session, we’ll take time to talk about your concerns and what brings you to therapy. Together, we’ll begin creating a personalized plan of care that is tailored to your unique needs and goals.
With 16 years of experience at the Department of Veterans Affairs, I have extensive training in a variety of evidence-based treatments and use measurement-based tools to help guide and strengthen the therapy process. These approaches allow me to tailor treatment to each individual while ensuring progress is tracked and supported.
I work with individuals and partners navigating a wide range of relationship and sexual health concerns. My current practice is centered on sexual health, with experience addressing issues such as trauma, erectile difficulties, low or high sexual desire, out-of-control sexual behavior (sometimes referred to as sex or porn addiction), and concerns related to kink, ethical non-monogamy, and polyamory. I also provide affirming care for members of the LGBTQIA+ community and have experience supporting those within the BDSM and fetish communities. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their concerns and work toward greater well-being and fulfillment.
Sex therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sexual health. It can help people and couples address factors that may be affecting their sexual satisfaction, such as medical, psychological, personal, or interpersonal issues. The goal of sex therapy is to help people overcome challenges and have more satisfying relationships.
CBT is based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can influence a person's quality of life, and that psychological problems can be caused by faulty thinking or unhelpful behaviors. CBT aims to help people become aware of negative or inaccurate thinking so they can respond to challenging situations more effectively.
Behavioral Couples Therapy (BCT) is an evidence-based form of therapy designed to help intimate partners improve their relationship and address individual or shared difficulties. It’s grounded in behavioral principles, meaning it focuses on how partners’ actions, communication, and patterns of interaction influence the health of the relationship.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, person-centered counseling approach designed to help people explore and resolve ambivalence about change. It’s often used in therapy, healthcare, and coaching when someone feels stuck between wanting to change and wanting to stay the same.

I like that even when I felt I was getting off track and talking about other people in my life that she gave insight into that and it was ok. She made me feel comfortable and seems genuinely concerned with my issues and helping to work through the jumble in my brain.

Beth was truly amazing to talk to and it was only my 1st appointment. She was very open and kind to me. She took the time to listen to me and help to give me advice or to tell me it's not all my fault. I highly recommend her!
