About
Dr. Bev
I believe; gaining insight and understanding, feeling more hopeful, knowing someone is there to listen, and being in a safe and non-judgmental environment, are just some of the important keys to therapy. One of the most difficult and courageous things someone can do is to walk into a clinician's office and ask for help. Sometimes people may hesitate to seek help because they feel alone in their pain or that no one will understand them. I work with clients ages two and older, from diverse cultural groups, and foster an atmosphere of understanding across these various age and cultural groups.
Dr. Bev has been in a private psychotherapy practice for 23 years and has been a professor for 22, teaching associates degree seeking students through doctoral seeking students, and seminars. She has treated everything in her practice and has worked with people from 2-years-old and up. Some of her specializations are anxiety disorders, mood disorders, PTSD/trauma, eating disorders, suicidal ideation, self-injurious behaviors, and childhood disorders. Dr. Bev is primarily cognitive-behavioral in her treatment and conceptualization, and she believes in the mind-body approach to therapy.
Dr. Bev works with life coaching clients in empowering them to assess, discuss, and meet their aspirational goals, to help improve the quality of their lives. This includes helping them to be more self-aware and to understand both their strengths and weaknesses better, in order to enhance said strengths and work on lessening said weaknesses, through guidance and life-coaching techniques. With helpful direction, strategies, and support, she helps them with their personal growth to achieve and have success in their desired goals.
Dr. Bev works with businesses of all sizes in conducting professional consultations by helping to facilitate positive, productive, and respectful communication between or among employees and employers, colleagues, business partners, and the like. When every person is feeling heard and that their contributions matter, there is more likely to be an atmosphere of productivity and success.
Dr. Bev also runs psychotherapeutic groups. Some of these groups include: an Eating Disorder Group, a Parenting Group, a Trauma Group, an Empowerment Group, a Chronic Pain Group, and a Grief and Loss Group.

My Mission
Psychotherapy
Therapy is a process, in which clients and the therapist work together in a collaborative way and in a safe environment. Whether my client(s) is/are an individual, a family, a couple, or a group, everyone is treated equally with respect, kindness, understanding, and support. Everyone has a voice and everyone matters.
My Mission
Life Coaching
Life coaching is about helping clients empower themselves towards the changes and goals they aspire to achieve in all areas of life. In improving areas of one's life, this carries over positively into relationships, including personal and professional.
My Mission
Consultations
Professional consultations entail creating unity and harmony in work places, in order to increase efficiency and workflow in the business. This can only be achieved when both employees and employers are feeling appreciated, heard, and respected. Employees are more likely to be loyal and want to work for companies where they feel respected, heard, and qualified. Whether among employees and employers, colleagues, or partners in business, there is unity in healing fractured business relationships and navigating positive change.
