Embarking on the journey of inner work doesn't have to be a solitary path. I deeply value the unique bond between therapist and client, and I consider it a true privilege to be invited into your story. With an open heart and a non-judgmental approach, I welcome clients from all walks of life. I believe that laughter can be an important part of the therapeutic process, but above all, I am here to listen and offer a space where you can truly be yourself. Counseling is an integral part of healthy living, helping to restore balance, clarity, and grounding.

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed and trapped by the pressures of everyday life—whether it’s the demands of work, family obligations, or societal expectations. Often, they carry the weight of past trauma that amplifies these feelings and makes change feel daunting. Despite this, there’s a deep desire for transformation and a longing for a more fulfilling life. They must feel heard and validated as they work through family conflicts and improve their communication skills. They seek practical strategies to cope with their challenges while addressing the impact of their past experiences.

You may be struggling with the following questions: What is stopping me from living a fulfilled and balanced life? What is my value/worth? Am I on the right path? Why do I feel anxious for no reason? Why is it difficult for me to adapt to change? Why can't I connect with my partner? The focus of my work is helping individuals develop healthier relationships with themselves and the people in their lives. My philosophy is represented in Steve Marboli's statement: "The power to change your life lies in the simplest of steps".

Hi, I’m Bethanie – and I’m really glad you’re here.
If you’re living with OCD or identify as neurodivergent, you’ve probably been told—maybe more times than you can count—that you’re “too much,” “too sensitive,” or “too stuck in your head.” I want you to know: you are not too much. You are human, and you deserve a space where you can be understood exactly as you are.

Ever feel like you're just trying to keep it together while the house is on fire? (We've all been there.) Life can be incredibly stressful, and sometimes those challenges impact everything from daily tasks to deeper emotional wounds. Whether you're struggling with stress, executive functioning, or trauma, therapy can help. If you're ready to put down the fire extinguisher and find some peace, I'd love to connect.

Waitlist for new clients
I am a compassionate, irreverent, strengths-based therapist. I enjoy helping teenagers, adults, and partnerships deepen their relationships with themselves. I think of therapy as a laboratory for discerning and developing life change. By considering therapy, I believe that you already possess the innate capacity and bravery to pursue this change so that you can live your life to the fullest. I draw upon psychodynamic, narrative, transfeminist, and other liberatory approaches in my work with clients. I have completed EMDR Basic Training with Deany Laliotis of the Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy.

Finding a therapist or educator who truly understands you is exhausting. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before, only to feel misunderstood—by a clinician who didn’t get your polyamorous relationship, minimized your trauma, judged your kinks, or asked invasive questions about your gender. Whether you’re here to heal, explore, question, or just pissed that no one ever taught you how to have good sex, you belong in this space. Sex is political, emotional, healing, joyful, and sacred. Pleasure is a right, not a privilege. Therapy should be where you feel seen, heard, and affirmed. And because you deserve a therapist who gets it.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that who you are makes sense. Even when your emotions, behaviors, or relationships are extremely different than what you want them to be. I believe that our feelings carry wisdom, our behaviors serve a function, and our current situation becomes clear in the context of our whole story. With this stance of curiosity and acceptance, I can help you understand the parts of your life that are causing distress and move toward the life you want to be living. I am an ideal fit for clients who want to make a change in their behavior while understanding the way those behaviors have functioned.

Do you feel out of sorts? Do you have thoughts or emotions you're not sure how to navigate? If you feel alone and distressed, yet want to move closer to your true self, therapy is a safe place to do this. I'd love to come alongside you, normalize your experiences, reduce distress, and help you discover, make space for, and embrace your true self. My main experience is treating anxiety, life transitions, grief/loss, ministry/other burnout, spiritual abuse, and past trauma/abuse. I also love integrating Christian faith into therapy when desired. I provide supervision for LGPC's in Maryland as well!

My current availability is mornings on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday and lunch time on Wednesday. My experience is primarily working with adults with ADHD and/or trauma. I love to help clients with ADHD build systems to help with executive dysfunction challenges and meet them head on. As a person with ADHD myself, I understand the unique challenge of feeling like you're fighting your brain to make things happen. I have also trained in providing EMDR therapy to help reprocess traumatic experiences and negative thoughts. Trauma means different things to different people, but whatever it means to you is valid.

I enjoy working with adults, teens, people who have experienced trauma, LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse people, artists, and those who seek a perspective of body-liberation. I believe that everyone deserves a safe and compassionate space to explore their unique experiences, stories, and challenges. I seek to understand the complex intersections of identity and how they impact mental health and well-being. My goal is to help clients develop the tools they need to heal, grow, and thrive. If you're looking for a therapist who is affirming, non-judgmental, and dedicated to helping you achieve your goals, I would be honored to work with you.

Anxiety and depression make everything so much harder, don't they? I was a Certified Anxiety Treatment Professional and have been developing a specialization in OCD through a range of trainings including Inference-based Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention. I also treat depression, generalized anxiety, stress, and more. I work with ages 18+ and can also help with procrastination/avoidance, perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-esteem, and co-dependency. What brings you to therapy? I'm interested to learn more about you and what's been going on to see if we're a good fit.

Have you been in therapy before and it wasn't the best fit? Is this your first time searching for a therapist for yourself or for a loved one? Not sure if your stress in life is “enough” to need therapy? Good therapy is built on a relationship of warmth, empathy, and authenticity. Life can be tough and it can be beneficial to have a therapist who really "gets you" by your side to navigate difficult times. Not all therapy sessions must be intense and serious! I can help you embrace the strengths you innately possess to have joy, laughter, and contentment in life.

I understand how debilitating life can be when you have experienced complex trauma and/or phobias, and I don't want to see you suffer for any longer than you already have. This is why I often utilize Accelerated Resolution Therapy during counseling. ART doesn't require you to share details of your experience, and many concerns can be addressed in 3-5 sessions! Imagine being able to go to the dentist without fear, or perhaps you'd like to just experience life without anxiety constantly getting in the way. If you've been considering counseling and now feel ready to make the leap to improve your life satisfaction, I can help!

The idea of exploring therapy can be difficult, confusing, and uncomfortable. It can also be your first step toward health, balance, and emotional freedom. You can achieve this from the privacy and comfort of your own home via telehealth. I have been helping individuals and couples successfully navigate the counseling process for over 18 years by identifying and changing unconscious beliefs that sabotage personal/relational success and emotional well being. My special interests and certifications are in informed trauma therapy, complex grief and bereavement, anxiety disorders, veterans mental health and telehealth.
