Beth has expertise in a wide range of issues and topics such as Life Transitions, Self-Exploration, Spiritual Counseling, Relationship Issues, Couples Counseling, Family Counseling, Trauma, Women's Issues, Addiction, Mental Illness, Personality Disorders, and Mood Disorders:

Life Transitions:
Beth helps clients deal with new situations that bring one into fear or into the unknown.  Situations such as a death of a loved one, a loss of a relationship, a move to a new location, beginning or ending of a job or school, a change in identity, letting go of who one once was, getting married, getting divorced, pregnancy and the birth of a child, a serious illness or new physical disability are all life transitions.  Life transitions are stressful, scary, exciting, and confusing.  Beth has experience in supporting her client's through these challenging times.  With support and understanding in a counseling setting, clients are able to move through these transitions with greater ease and acceptance.

Self Exploration / Spiritual Counseling:
Questions of "What is my life's purpose?", "What brings meaning to my life?", "What path should I be on?", "Am I living my life in the way I should be?", "Who am I?", "What do I truly believe in?", "How can I gain greater happiness and peace?", "Why do I feel so lost?", "What direction should I be heading in?", "What career should I pursue?", "How can I live a more Spiritual life?" are all questions of Self exploration.  Beth is skilled to address these questions and guide the client into an deep process of finding answers.  No question is too deep for Beth to explore.  Many patterns of dysfunction and unrest come out of feeling lost and confused about oneself.  Beth's inquisitive process can help heal and transform issues of emptiness, powerlessness, feelings of being stuck, feelings of insecurity and lack of confidence, low self-esteem, and feeling lost in life.  With the process of Self exploration, clients can gain the Wisdom, insight, and Self-awareness to live a more effective and meaningful life.  Deep Self-Exploration can be a doorway into one's Soul.  Beth often helps her clients enter into a still and meditative space and coaches mindfulness practices that can help one find inner truth and Soul's voice.

Relationship Issues / Couples Counseling / Family Counseling:
Relationships are one of the most important parts of a person's life.  Beth helps clients understand the dynamics that exist in their relationships.  Issues such as relationship conflict, communication, intimacy, sexuality, parenting, family dysfunction, abandonment issues, boundary issues, Co-dependency, relationship addiction are all problems that Beth supports clients to work through.  In addition to current relationship issues, Beth has the skills to explore past relationships, such as Family of Origin, in order to understand where dysfunctional patterns arose from.  Beth works to transform relationship patterns for healthier connections and a greater, stronger sense of Self.

Trauma:
Trauma can arise from many distressing situations and can remain stuck in the mind and body causing serious disruption in a person's life.  Anxiety, panic, Post Truamatic Stress Disorder, insomnia, confusion, fear, depression, isolation, and generalized stress are all symptoms of unresolved trauma.  Trauma can arise from any life threatening situation, past or present abuse, a loss, death, a scare, a devastating transition, severe grief, or experiencing or witnessing violence.  Beth has expertise in helping clients understand, cope with, and heal the trauma they may have in their nervous systems.  Beth uses EMDR, Mindfullness techniques, and somatic techniques to work with trauma.

Women's Issues:
Beth has worked with women's issues extensively in her practice.  She has experience with issues that surface during pregnancy, abortion, miscarriage, adoption, labor and delievery, Post Partum, and many other reproductive issues.  Women's issues also include topics such as empowerment, confidence, self-esteem, and identity.  A woman's identity as a mother, a wife, a business woman, and a friend can be challenging and difficult to balance.  Women often struggle with holding on to themselves while in relatinship.  Many women struggle with Co-dependency.  Beth has worked with many women on these topics to find a greater sense of worth and peace.  Body image, physical health, and hormones are often challenging and can be worked though in therapy. Beth truly enjoys working with women on these various topics and has had much success with helping women work though their struggles.
