Finding the right therapist can be like choosing among healthcare plans or tax preparation options...a tedious necessity in trying to meet your particular needs. 17 years of professional and clinical experience has helped me refine service to men, women and couples addressing life's most complicating issues (infidelity, sexual compulsivity, PTSD, communication problems...). Based on your assessed needs, our work together will be sensible, practical and results-oriented. I believe you and your relationships can find relief, recover and even thrive in the midst of debilitating challenges.

Life can be hard and full of challenges. I believe every person deserves the revelatory experience of therapy to make the journey a little easier. My passion is helping clients strengthen and nurture their most important relationship - the one with themselves. I want you to know and like yourself so that you may foster deeper and more meaningful relationships with those who are important to you and, ultimately, lead a more fulfilling life. During our time together, you will feel understood, cared for and respectfully challenged. My native Austin roots come through in my style: chill, authentic and occasionally funny (hopefully).

Getting to know and understand yourself is an important part of learning how to navigate through life with others. My hope is to assist those on their journeys to find meaning and hope in the pursuit of getting to know themselves and others. I believe that self-acceptance is a key part of meaningful change. I work with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, self-respect and confidence issues. I also work with couples who are struggling with life transition, sexual, and communication issues. If your goal is to work through some of the hard and ugly things life has dealt you, I am here to help.

Are you tired of staying small and playing it safe? Do you find yourself spending all of this anxious energy trying not to be so sensitive because you learned early on your feelings are a bad thing? Are you wanting to show up in a way that feels more authentic to you, but you can’t seem to figure out how? Imagine what it would be like to feel good being yourself. There wouldn’t be so much of a need for things to appear picture perfect on the outside. You could actually honor your feelings and needs. You could take up space. You could move through the messier parts of your life with more confidence and compassion for yourself.

Therapy is collaborative. As a therapist, I am a partner in my clients' self-explorations and a witness to their accomplishments. I provide a serene place where clients can rediscover or develop authentic selves, deepen emotional connections with self and others, recognize how thoughts, beliefs and values affect relationships, consider new ways of being in the world, develop healthier adaptive strategies when facing problems, and work through past and present past trauma, grief, and losses. You have the strengths you need to meet your full potential and achieve a satisfying life. I can help.

Having concerns about your body or your relationship with food can be difficult to live with. Messages we hear from our families, communities, and media can make us feel disconnected from our physical experience. You might be hoping to improve your relationship with food, or to heal from the societal messages you've learned, or to understand yourself better. You may wish to bridge the gap between your mind, your body, and your soul.

Do you see 2021 as an opportunity to reset? Now may be a good time to recognize how adaptable you really are, given the uncertainty we've all experienced this past year, and mobilize towards clearing what no longer serves you. Using specialized integrative tools, I will support you in exploring what happens when you drop into your heart and intuitively let your body express a deeper truth that will guide you to your true nature and unique purpose for being here at this time. This can be the perfect time to pause, go within, and look at what life wants to show you. Contact me, if you are ready to play an active role in your healing.

I am currently taking new clients in Austin, Tx and through teletherapy. I have over 14 years experience working with clients who are overloaded from the stress of daily life, school, work and family obligations. When life seems to be weighing you down and you can't come up for air, then I am here to help bring clarity and peace. My goal is to provide a calm and creative setting that nurtures the resilience everyone has inside them. We all have strength and the ability to cope, I am here to help you see that in yourself. I believe that humor, when appropriate, and warmth go a long way in building relationships with clients.

Beth is not taking new clients at this time. I believe we all have the capacity to achieve loving, fulfilling relationships, but sometimes we get in our own way. Whether you are stuck in old patterns, afraid to try something new, uncomfortable in your own skin, or simply frustrated with the cards you've been dealt, please allow me to assist you on your journey to your full potential, and most rewarding relationships. I specialize in Relationship Issues, am a Certified Imago Relationship Specialist and EMDR Certified Therapist, and can help gently guide clients through their traumatic pasts.

In times of stress, we tend to forget that healing comes from the inside out! Major changes such as marital conflict, divorce, dementia in a loved one, anxiety, or depression may give more questions than answers. Depth psychology provides deeper understanding of your life. Often solutions are crying out from your own heart if only someone would listen. I will listen and together we will find strategies, resources, and solutions so that you have the life and relationships you want. I offer years of experience working with children and adolescents, families, and crisis intervention. Call for free consultation.

My practice focuses on gender and sexual minorities. Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Kink, Poly, Queer. Members of sexual and gender minorities often have a difficult time finding a therapist that does not pathologize our identities or that we have to basically "teach" the therapist about working with us. As a trans and queer identified therapist, I work from a place of affirming and celebrating who we are.

One of my philosophies of life is that although we cannot always control our experiences and circumstances, we can choose our responses to them and dive into how they affect and influence us as humans. We can then learn to understand how life mirrors to us the way we relate to ourselves. I believe life is change; growth optional. We ultimately have the capacity to grow if we allow ourselves to, as acknowledging change is allowing it to happen while it unfolds.

My ideal client is human; inherently flawed and curious. This human is seeking collaboration, a non-judgmental space in which to grow, thrive, and learn through relational education between themselves and ultimately with others. The path chosen is ultimately one of healing, reconciliation, acceptance, growth, and forgiveness. The decision made to show up in therapy is a huge first step to move from surviving and stagnation to thriving and introspection. It is my honor whenever I have the opportunity to take this journey with you.

Sometimes life does not go as planned and that can cause a series of thoughts and emotions. Therapy can help you process those thoughts and emotions and be a guide as you work to obtain your life goals. From day-to-day transitional issues that cause depression, self-esteem, and anxiety issues to larger transitional issues like grieving the death of a loved one or deciding on a major life change, I will be a guide as you make the changes you want in your life. My ideal clients have acknowledged that they have an issue and have the desire to be the change they want to see and heal.

Hello, Are you tired of dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, or anger? Perhaps you are feeling frustrated and motivated to make some changes but just not sure what to do. Maybe all you need is a fresh view on things. I help people specify the positive changes they want to make and develop ways to take action. We will work together to determine what will work best for you.

You may be experiencing confusion or frustration because your current relationships are consistently challenging, or you may feel stuck in patterns of behavior that limit your ability to achieve your goals. It has been my experience that even though you may not feel like it right now, every experience - whether joyful or painful - has the potential to contribute to the richness of life and can be deeply transformational. My hope is to work together and to build a relationship built on mutual trust and respect where these experiences can be explored.
