About me

Hey there and welcome! I am a Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working in the Mental Health and Addiction fields. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, parenting problems, career/life change, military adjustment concerns, LGBTQ+ and relationship issues.

I believe each person is unique and so I use a person centered approach with a very warm, non-judgemental and compassionate style. I believe in treating others with the highest level of respect and dignity. I will meet you where you are and move with you at your pace. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels--the world does enough of that.

I acknowledge the courage it takes to seek out answers and create a more rewarding life! I also commend you for your choice in owning the goal to be a healthier YOU! I look forward to joining you on your journey to an improved, happier YOU!

Bethany is kind and listens very well. They took pressure off of me when I felt nervous about a session. I hope others get the pleasure of talking with Bethany!

I've only had 2 sessions with Bethany so far but I can already tell she is incredible, she listens, asks, questions, and validates everything I feel and say. She makes me feel proud of where I am and what I do and I couldn't be happier or feel safer talking to her.
