We all have inner strength. Rollo May, a well known psychologist wrote, "Finding the center of strength within ourselves, is in the long run, the best contribution we can make to our fellow man". As a professional counselor, I want to help you find and use your strengths so you can live a healthy and purpose filled life.

Beth focuses on helping each individual to restore peace, balance, and calm by accessing the strengths, resources, and creativity that already exist within them. As a trained Art Therapist, Beth believes that art and accessing one’s creativity can be restorative when stress, anxiety, depression, or life experiences are weighing them down. Utilizing a person-centered, holistic, and down to earth approach, Beth helps clients to focus on quieting their inner critic and feeling more centered as they navigate through their journey.

If you're here, I probably don't need to tell you that the rate of depression in college students continues to rise and college counseling centers can't keep up. You're sad. You're empty. You're filled with doom about the plight of the world and you're not even sure if there's a point in trying anymore. I specialize in working with individuals who are depressed, self-harming or having thoughts of suicide. I'll help you balance your mood, increase your self-worth and improve your relationships so that you can actually enjoy life again rather than trying to escape it.

Looking for a creative and unique way for you or your child to express themselves and initiate growth and change? I may be the therapist you are looking for!

Anxiety is everywhere these days. We're all making our way through a sea of unknowns, and our children are along for the ride. I believe that YOU, a parent or caregiver, have been doing the very best that you can for your child. I also know that with limited resources, a lack of external support or your own mental health strain, supporting a struggling child often feels impossible. If you’ve exhausted a list of ideas to help your child with little progress, let me join you. Together we can redistribute that emotional weight you’re carrying and give your child a big wide space to heal and grow.
