Hi, I'm Bethany! If you're feeling overwhelmed by daily stress, searching for your place in the world, or simply need someone to talk to, I'm here to support you. Together, we’ll build a trusting partnership and work towards your personal goals, whatever they may be. I use a client-centered approach because I believe you’re the expert on your own life and experiences. In our sessions, you'll find a safe and welcoming space to dive into your struggles, process past traumas, and gain clarity. I’m committed to offering compassion and validation every step of the way. Therapy should be tailored to your needs, and I’ll actively listen and collaborate with you to ensure it’s a meaningful and effective experience. Let's work together to help you find balance, growth, and fulfillment in your life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we’ll start by getting to know each other. We’ll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, your current concerns, and any goals you have in mind. I’ll listen actively and with empathy to understand your unique experiences and needs. Together, we’ll outline a plan for how we can work towards your goals and address your challenges. My aim is to ensure you feel comfortable, supported, and confident about the journey ahead. This initial session is all about setting the stage for a collaborative and effective therapeutic relationship.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a therapist is building authentic, trusting relationships with my clients. I want you to feel at ease and truly valued in our sessions, recognizing that your worth is inherent and undeniable. With eight years of experience, I’m well-equipped to work with individuals from all walks of life, though I particularly thrive in supporting those within the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities. Regardless of your background, I’m eager to connect with you and see if we’re a great fit for working together.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
In my therapy practice, I’m best positioned to support clients who are dealing with anxiety, depression, and other life challenges, identify as LGBTQ+, or are neurodivergent . I also frequently work with grief and couples counseling. With experience addressing a wide range of concerns, I offer a compassionate and affirming space where you can explore your unique experiences and challenges. Whether you’re navigating identity, managing stress, seeking to overcome emotional hurdles, or working through relationship dynamics, I use a client-centered approach to ensure our sessions are tailored to your specific needs and goals. My focus is on providing personalized support to help you build resilience, find balance, and achieve a greater sense of well-being.
