Accepting Clients

I'm Beth, and I use they/them pronouns. I'm a licensed therapist in WA who finds immense joy in working with my queer and trans communities.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Olympia, WA

About My Clients

I love working with people navigating life changes. Transitions can bring up a lot of feelings, fears, memories of past experiences, or traumas - and through that struggle they can offer the opportunity for hope, excitement, joy, and new experiences. Together, we will tap into your strength and creativity so you're able to experience a sense of abundance in your options for change and make movement toward the life you want to be living.

My Background and Approach

I'm a queer and non-binary counselor, whose practice centers on providing care for our queer and trans communities. I do both individual therapy and relational counseling (relationships / friends / chosen family). I'm a knowledgable and affirming provider for folks in kink communities and polyamorous communities. In therapy, we will work collaboratively. I play an active role in helping clients explore patterns, relationships, and feelings. I deeply believe in your ability to experience so many beautiful things in the future, and am honored to work with people along that journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am committed to anti-racism, disability justice, and queer and trans liberation in all aspects of my life. I recognize that western therapy and the field of psychology have been weaponized against communities of color and lgbtq people since its inception. I believe that healing doesn't need to be rooted in shame and stigma, and is more effective when we work with self-compassion. Personally, I love gardening, pottery, quilting - basically anything where I get to work with my hands. I listen to a lot of audiobooks, enthusiastically pet other people's dogs, and am mediocre at keeping houseplants alive.
