Bethany brings her steady, calming attention, gentle curiosity, and nurturing energies to her work in sessions. She believes that healing our external lives and our relationships begins with turning in love and compassion toward ourselves, and to this end she will work collaboratively with you to help you attend deeply to what is going on internally, honor the integrity and wisdom of what is heard, reparent the wounded inner child, and begin meeting previously unmet needs. Clients often report that the self-focused work they have done with Bethany is transforming how they feel in their relationships and other life contexts.
Bethany has worked with many presenting concerns, including but not limited to anxiety and related disorders, depression and other mood disorders, relationships, student concerns (having worked extensively with college and graduate students, both American and from many countries of origin), parenting concerns, grief, spiritual confusion, obsessions and compulsions, addictions, PTSD, and relational trauma/attachment wounds. Bethany is multiculturally oriented and seeks to understand and treat presenting concerns in the context of the whole person and clients’ overlapping identities.
Bethany graduated with a master’s degree in counseling from Indiana University’s Counseling Education Program and holds associate licensure in the state of Indiana.
In addition to working alongside clients in therapy, Bethany enjoys many other life activities like gardening, puzzling, writing poems, playing tennis, and doing all kinds of things familiar and new with her beloved husband and son. She also enjoys getting immersed in a book and looking for bright pebbles in the creek bed.
