Meet Bethany
You don’t have to do this alone.
If you’ve found your way here, you might be exhausted from anxiety’s constant chatter. Maybe scary thoughts pop in and won’t leave you alone. Maybe you’re tired of spinning your wheels in therapy that feels like endless talking without tools. You just want peace of mind and to finally feel like yourself again.
I want you to know: you’re in the right place.
Why I Do This Work
I became a therapist because I know how heavy life can feel when your own thoughts turn against you. I’ve walked alongside countless women who felt buried under fear, shame, or “what-ifs,” and I’ve seen what happens when they finally find a therapist who gets it.
For me, therapy isn’t just about talking. It’s about giving you practical, actionable steps so you can stop feeling stuck and start reclaiming your life.
My Approach
I specialize in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders, using the gold-standard treatment of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
That means:
No fluffy “just think positive” advice.
No endless venting without progress.
Real, research-backed strategies that retrain your brain and give you freedom from the cycle of fear.
I also integrate tools from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) so you’ll walk away not just with insight, but with skills you can use in your everyday life.

A Little About Me
When I’m not in session, you can usually find me outside in nature, curled up with coffee and a good book, journaling, in a book store or planning my next trip with my partner somewhere sunny. I have been a social worker and foster parent for many years & one of my favorite roles is being an aunt.
I bring that same love of warmth, beauty, and balance into my therapy room, creating a space where you can breathe easier and be yourself.
