Therapist

Virtual • Minnesota


Hi, I am Beth, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CA. Adoption and foster care require a different kind of heart and a specialized set of tools. With three decades of dedicated experience, I help families navigate the nuances of trauma and "blocked trust." My approach is deeply empathetic, rooted in the belief that healing happens through connection. I provide the seasoned perspective you need to understand your child’s needs—and your own—more deeply. You don't have to do this alone.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Eden Prairie, MN


If you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with focus, or experiencing anxiety, mood changes, or difficulty finding balance, you're not alone—and the right support can make a meaningful difference.

I am a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. My clinical experience includes treating ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD, sleep disorders, and eating disorders.

Because of my dual certification, I approach care with the understanding that mental and physical health are deeply interconnected. When both are addressed together, individuals are better able to achieve stability, resilience, and a greater sense of well-being.

My practice combines clinical expertise, careful observation, and evidence-based guidelines to create individualized treatment plans. I strive to provide thoughtful, personalized mental health care in an environment where patients feel heard, supported, and respected.
