In my practice, I draw upon a unique blend of psychodynamic psychotherapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and multicultural psychotherapy all guided by a trauma-informed lens.
You wake up in the middle of the night, your mind swirling with thoughts of whether you'll ever be able to trust someone again – to let down those walls that have become your armor. The old ways of coping that once served you now seem to be crumbling, leaving you feeling even more adrift. Each time you tidy up a space, the weight of responsibilities feels unbearable, and you can't help but yearn for someone to care for you, to give you the break you so desperately need and deserve. If your day-to-day seems like a maze of responsibilities and obligations that leave little room for your own well-being, I understand and I can help.

Whether you're struggling with the unrelenting pain of past trauma or have been unsuccessful at overcoming that secret addiction and now you've been discovered, you may feel lost, confused, and uncertain how to move forward.
I believe in approaching change differently. Rather than take the standard approach, I want to find what is most effective in helping you find relief from your problems. I specialize in helping individuals who feel trapped find freedom. That is most often individuals dealing with trauma or sexual addiction (my top specialties) but it can include anything.

I work with adults and teens though trauma and related disorders, grief and bereavement, identity issues, and of course, disability and chronic illness.
Hi there, and welcome! I’m Bethany, your friendly neighborhood queer, goth mental health counselor on wheels. Cerebral palsy and a lifetime as a wheelchair user has given me unique insight into chronic illness, anxiety, and feeling “othered” by society. You aren’t broken and you certainly don’t have to feel like a passive participant in your own life. Rock bottom often provides the most fertile soil for positive growth. I can’t wait to see what blooms for you. LLAP!
