Glendale, CA - Accepting clients in CA
Along life’s journey, we can experience feelings of sadness, confusion, fear, self-doubt, anger, shame, loneliness, distrust and uncertainty in ourselves, others and/or society at large. At times, past trauma, grief and fear can be activated, leaving us feeling stuck, or leading us to impulsive and/or unhelpful decisions to change the way we feel-at least in the moment. If you’re encountering emotions, behaviors or patterns that leave you, your relationships, and/or life goals out of alignment with what you hope for, I invite you to partner with me in a compassion-based therapeutic space. My approach is to support you in moving through your challenges with greater ease, finding and discerning your truths, uncovering additional strengths, gaining practical skills, and enlivening a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life.
I have been fortunate to work with people from different cultures, religions, philosophical orientations, traditional and non-traditional family forms, youth to elders, and all sides of the socio-economic spectrum. I love people, their stories, and believe that within each human being, gifts are given to be recognized, expressed and increase positive emotion and a felt sense of holistic well-being.

I hear you. You've been going through the motions, avoiding pain, sometimes barely hanging on, and trying to live a "normal," happy life. But, your past keeps creeping up and interrupts your hopes and goals, negatively impacts your day to day life, and creates relationship struggles. A childhood trauma might be coming up or a more recent traumatic event, or maybe something you might not describe as traumatic is inserting itself into your well being. Either way, your life isn't going the way you want it to. I can help you heal from the past and move beyond the experiences that are wreaking havoc on you, so that you can have the life and future that you want and deserve.
Reaching out to a therapist can feel scary, embarrassing, even shameful, but you're tired of not living. You are ready to move forward, beyond the pain, sadness, fear, and difficulty that has been in your life so far. It's time to reach out.

Rooted in a compassionate curiosity, our work would explore these themes through inquiry into the dynamic between your conscious, unconscious, somatic, and relational self. Using a holistic lens we can unpack the how's and why's of your patterns; gaining insight into your emotions and experiences, and work towards greater self-awareness and well-being.
From a somatic, psychodynamic approach we will focus on the connection between the body and the mind, and how emotions and past experiences can be stored in the body and affect an your mental and physical well-being. Through the use of techniques such as mindfulness, breathwork, and body-based exercises, you will become more aware of your physical sensations and how they are connected to your thoughts and emotions. This may also include exploring early childhood experiences, family dynamics, and past traumas, as well as working through issues related to relationships, self-esteem, and personal growth.

Hello and welcome.
Reaching out for therapy often begins during uncertain, vulnerable times. I’m grateful you’re here—choosing to make space for yourself, to be seen and heard, and to share the parts of your story that have been carried quietly for too long. This will be your space—steady, compassionate, and yours to grow in. To carry this forward, I approach therapy with a strong relational focus and deep honor for the process we’ll share. As The Sidecar Therapist, my mission is to ride alongside you—navigating the terrain, facing challenges together, one step at a time.
Whether you’re looking to set healthy boundaries, heal attachment wounds, reconnect with—and fall in love with—your authentic self, or find support through a neurodiverse lens, I’m here to hold space for you and offer a restorative process. Some paths may be linear, others winding, or marked by U-turns. But wherever your journey takes us, our work will be rooted in compassion, humility, and the amplification of joy.
This approach is shaped by my own lived experience, a diverse career path, and the training I’ve pursued—all of which deepen my understanding of the complexities of being human. I’m lighthearted, compassionate, caring, and real. I’ll meet you exactly where you are, with flexibility and deep respect for the realities of your life. I’ll hold space without judgment, and when you're ready, I’ll gently nudge you forward. Together, we’ll shape a path that reflects your values, your needs, and the vision you hold for yourself.

-Interpersonal Psychotherapy

If you value honest, direct feedback and compassionate encouragement, I am ready to help you navigate life’s challenges confidently and clearly.

Do you feel stuck in some part of your life and want to feel more confident, at ease, and connected? I am here to help you to break through anxiety, symptoms of depression, personal and generational trauma, and other challenges you might be encountering that make it hard to be true to yourself or cause relationship issues.
In therapy, we will work collaboratively to help you reach your goals.

Fullerton, CA - Accepting clients in CA
Hello! Props to you for taking the first steps in handling your mental health. My name is Bethany and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing for 5 years. My priority in treatment, regardless of diagnosis, is to support you in reinforcing your strength and building your confidence because things get done when you believe in yourself. I've helped teens, adults, and older adults break free from negative thinking patterns utilizing models such as CBT and ERP. It's amazing what changes can be made when you actively choose to face your thoughts and demand your power back.
I understand that life has a way of pushing us to our limits in a way that seems unfair. I also understand that an adjustment in perspective or an aggressive push of encouragement is often what we need in order to overcome the things life throws our way.
My job in treatment is to provide you with the safest space to process your thoughts while also ensuring enough challenges are introduced to show you what you're capable of.
Healing is going to come from you - I am simply here to help facilitate that process.
