I am grateful to have Beth as my therapist! She listens and provides me with the encouragement and support I need for bettering myself. She’s compassionate and listens to what I have to say, regarding my concerns and offers ideas/solutions to help me during my healing process. Also, we end off each of our video sessions with prayer and I love it!

Beth is thoughtful, patient, and personable. She made me feel listened to from the first session onward. She has replied quickly and thoughtfully to my messages, and she offers amazing recommendations for further "homework," e.g., readings, during and following our sessions. She is knowledgable and wonderful to talk to regarding both her specialty areas and general mental health/psychology. We could talk about whatever I needed to.

We had a great first session. Beth was incredibly positive and empathetic, and did a great job of prioritizing my issues.
