About Me

Hi, I’m Beth.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with 5 years of clinical experience, including 3 years specializing in Veterans, combat Veterans, military spouses, first responders, and adults with trauma. Life coaching allows me to extend that work to anyone in the US, regardless of state lines.

Coaching with me is a space to show up honestly, talk through what’s been heavy, and figure out what forward actually looks like for you. We work at your pace, on your terms, toward something that matters.

Common Questions

FAQ

Therapy is a licensed clinical service that diagnoses and treats mental health conditions and is regulated by the state. Coaching is growth and goal-focused and does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. If you are in California and need clinical therapy, visit Open Meadow Therapy.

No. Coaching is available to anyone in the US regardless of state. If you are in California and need licensed therapy, I can see you through Open Meadow Therapy instead.

Sessions are held virtually via video call. We meet at a cadence that works for you, typically weekly or biweekly, and work toward goals you set. You lead, I help you move.

I ask for at least 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or no-shows may be charged the full session fee. Life happens, just communicate early and we’ll work it out.

Yes. I keep a small caseload intentionally so each client gets my full attention.
