More about Beatrice
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, bipolar disorder, relationship concerns, life transitions, stress management, and co-occurring substance use concerns.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe therapy should provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life. I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care, while tailoring treatment to each client's individual needs, strengths, and goals.
I am passionate about helping clients recognize unhealthy patterns, develop effective coping skills, strengthen self-awareness, establish healthy boundaries, and build greater confidence in themselves and their decisions. My goal is not only to help you navigate current challenges, but also to provide you with practical tools that can support your continued emotional growth and overall well-being.
I believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood and having the courage to take one step at a time. I look forward to supporting you as you work toward becoming the healthiest and most fulfilled version of yourself.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
