Compassionate and creative counseling for tweens, teens, and adults.

Hi, I’m Beth.

And this is Rumi.

I’m a Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and mindfulness practitioner. 

I’m a St. Louis transplant, a corporate dropout, and a gatherer of experiences.

I love working with helpers, activists, and nonconformists—including therapists, caregivers, medical professionals, and the students and teens who want to be them. That’s because, like you, I want to make the world a better place. And I’ve learned firsthand it can be hard, stuff from the past can come up, and it can feel exhausting. I know our experiences aren’t the same, and I also know it helps to be with someone who gets it.

When I’m not working, you may find me buying used books, working on a crafty project (like building or refinishing bookshelves to house used books), or feeling all the feels while learning improv. Getting out of my comfort zone, working with my hands, and learning new things help me expand my horizons, gain perspective, and fill my cup.

If you find yourself yearning for more balance, creativity, and replenishment, let’s talk.

 

This is my therapup Rumi (she/he/they).

Rumi helps people live in the moment.

Rumi shows their enthusiasm for life and love for people through whole body wiggles. They love belly rubs, praise, and sleeping as close to human feet as possible.

Rumi specializes in bringing comfort to folks grieving the loss of their furry family member.

Rumi is currently in Duo Dog’s Touch Therapy training program and will continue their studies to be a therapy dog.

 

The other stuff.

 

I believe:

  • You are strong and wise and sometimes you may need to be reminded of that.

  • You have the capacity to move beyond your past. You can flourish in your present and future.

  • You deserve joy, happiness, and freedom.

  • Therapy is an opportunity to safely try on new attitudes and behaviors.

  • Healing happens in relationship.

  • Healing can happen through movement, art, and imagination. Talking about your trauma isn’t always necessary or helpful.

  • We are all creative and curious beings.

  • You are a whole, complete, perfect being. Even if it doesn’t feel that way for you right now.

“You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”

— Rumi
