I'm Bethany, a licensed therapist who helps individuals navigate anxiety, stress, and life transitions with compassion and clarity. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based techniques. I have spent the last ten years applying my clinical knowledge and love of helping to ensure a safe space that addresses the unique needs of my clients.

Strengths
My strengths include calmness, building rapport, and non-judgmental spaces. My approach is meeting clients where they are with a solution-focused mindset.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve teens and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My ideal clients are often capable and high-functioning, but feel secretly exhausted, stuck in negative thought loops, or disconnected from themselves. Imposter syndrome, people-pleasing tendencies, low self-worth, and LGBTQ+ identity exploration- My ideal client. I work well with individuals going through changes, exploring their identities, and wishing to make changes in their lives.
Treatment methods

Through the use of CBT and mindfulness, I have helped many teens and adults decrease their symptoms by teaching them that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. I assist clients with identifying automatic thoughts, underlying beliefs, and work on behavioral changes.

Through the use of Gender-affirming therapy, I have assisted many teens and adults with identity exploration, care coordination, and mental health support.
