Hey there! Looking for a therapist? As someone who’s been there, scrolling through profiles can be overwhelming. If you’re here, something probably feels off. Maybe it's anxiety you can't seem to shake, past experiences that feel like scary movies on repeat, the little voice inside your head that tells you "you aren't quite good enough", or just life being a little too much to handle on your own. Wherever you are in your journey, I’m so happy you’re here. My goal is that with collaboration, trust, and a little humor (because we are human!) we can discover a path to well-being in whatever way that looks like for you.

Hi there, I'm Beka. I tend to work with people who might feel lost, stuck, and overwhelmed. A lot of my clients often struggle with not feeling good enough and find themselves trapped in people pleasing and striving to prove their worth. They tend to take care of others and put everyone else's needs above their own, which can lead to burnout, resentment, and depression. Co-dependency, low self-esteem, and societal pressures all collide to create a storm of expectations you can't live up to. It doesn't have to be this way. Let's get curious about what's not working, and learn more about what you need and how to improve your life.

You might be here because life feels heavier than it used to. Maybe your mind will not stop racing, your sleep is restless, or you go through the day on autopilot, just trying to make it to tomorrow. Perhaps you are carrying the weight of a painful past, feeling stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, or wondering why you keep repeating cycles you desperately want to break. You may even feel like no one really sees you… or that if they did, they would not understand. If any of this feels familiar, you are not alone.

Now privileged to practice in Minnesota (LPC-MN-1005) and Ohio (LPC-OH-1006)!
I love working with folks who feel they struggle to fit in or connect - people who don’t feel they have someone who "gets" them. I specifically enjoy supporting my fellow Autistic, ADHD, & AuDHD adults as we navigate a world not built for us. Maybe you feel like the black sheep of your family for some other reason, or are exploring the "real you" and feel nervous about how you will be accepted. I’m here to walk beside you in that journey! Additionally, I love working with women, parents, and those striving to live lives true to their core values.

Ready to get real and meet your true self? I connect most with clients who are curious, thoughtful, and open to exploring themselves more deeply. Many people I work with understand their emotions on an intellectual level yet still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Clients often seek support for anxiety, stress, burnout, perfectionism, identity exploration, relationship challenges, or patterns such as people-pleasing, avoidance, or difficulty asserting needs. Others are navigating life transitions, career questions, or searching for clarity and balance.

I became a counselor to help hurting people and trauma survivors heal and restore their wholeness. I embrace them with compassion and acceptance, because I understand struggling and what it feels like to need someone to listen and believe you. Clients are welcome to bring in their spirituality, their fears, and their taboos. A safe, calm space can help clients process their worries and problems, as well as use helpful coping skills to transform lives. Every client's situation is unique and I use integrative approaches to help them heal as a whole person in mind-body-spirit.

I’m here to create a space where you can be unapologetically yourself regardless of how messy or complicated the journey might be.

I’ll help you heal and grow in a way that feels right for you. If there’s one thing I believe, it’s that life is too short to put up with other people’s nonsense. My approach centers on helping you navigate your path with the confidence to set boundaries and advocate for your needs; no BS, just real lasting change.

Would you like to learn how to overcome the internal critic that keeps you from experiencing your best self? There are ways of unlocking your potential. Whether overcoming depression, anxiety, or other emotional or psychological problems, you are worthy of a better life. Many people are "stuck" due to traumas whether large or small that occur at any point in life. Therapy can give you an opportunity to live free from these constraints.

I see counseling as a process in which we come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life, and work in a systematic fashion toward realizing those goals. I provide an atmosphere of openness and trust in which you may choose to examine and change non-functional patterns and behaviors. I believe that as people become personally responsible for interactions and behavior, they are very capable of finding happiness and contentment.
