Hi, I'm Beth.

About Me

 

I became a therapist because of my own therapy.

​

I was dating, and repeating the same things without being able to see it. I was good at explaining why each one hadn't worked out. What I couldn't do was notice the part I kept playing in all of them. Sitting across from someone who could see it, and who was kind about it, changed how I understood myself and eventually changed what I did for a living.

​

That's why I take dating seriously. Not as something you should have figured out by now, and not as a smaller problem than the ones people bring in after they're married. It's where a lot of us learn what we believe about ourselves.

Who I work with

​

Most of my clients are in their twenties and thirties, somewhere in the middle of it. Dating and wondering why it keeps going the same way. Newly out of something long. In a relationship that looks fine and feels harder than it should. Trying to tell the difference between a pattern worth changing and a person who isn't right.

​

I work with couples too, and I'm trained in the research on what makes relationships last. I bring that to people who are still choosing one.

​

Dating and relationships are most of what I do, though not all of it. I also see individuals for anxiety, for the transition into new parenthood, for cancer survivorship, and for the larger life changes that unsettle everything else.

​

How I work

​

My style is collaborative, active, and direct. I work best with people who are ready to get curious and dig in, not just talk things through. Together we clarify what matters to you, name what's getting in the way, and build something you can actually use outside the session.

​

I'll tell you what I notice rather than waiting for you to arrive at it on your own.

​

What led me here

​

Before this I worked in health and wellness, in education, and in tech. I'm a career switcher, which means I know what it is to make a large change and ask uncomfortable questions along the way. A lot of my clients are doing some version of that at the same time as everything else in their lives.

​

Outside of work

​

I'm a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, a cancer survivor, and a Bay Area native. I live in San Rafael, CA with my husband and our daughter.
