Bio

Beth is a white, queer, disabled, straight-sized, cisgender settler with ADHD living and working on traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations. Beth spent the past six years teaching high school English, and after feeling her priorities shift away from academia and toward her students’ mental health, self-regulation abilities, and general wellbeing, she was drawn toward the more intimate 1:1 setting of the counselling space.  

Beth offers an accessible, collaborative, client-centred, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed approach to counselling for individuals, families, and those seeking relationship counselling. Beth is firmly committed to the ongoing process of unlearning involved in decolonization and her practice is heavily informed by systems thinking, intersectional feminism, harm reduction, non-binary values, queer theory, attachment theory, and somatics. Beth has lived experience in and near chronic illness and disability, traumatic brain injury, anxiety and depression, addictions, religious trauma, intergenerational trauma, self-esteem, burnout, sexualized violence, grief and loss, non-monogamy and alternative relationship structures, and relationship endings.  

Beth has been studying nervous system regulation, interpersonal neurobiology, polyvagal theory, and epigenetics in her free time for the past five years. Throughout this time, she has also trained extensively in Conscious Connected Breathwork facilitation, Hakomi Therapy, and Bioenergetics with Numa Somatics. In January, 2021, Beth handed over her English classroom, and dove into a full-time Master of Counselling degree at City University of Seattle’s “Vancouver” campus, in the interest of blending her passions and expanding her offerings.  

In her personal life, Beth is a lover of singing, dancing, laughing, reading, painting, cooking for loved ones, taking rainy forest walks, tending to her many plants, and soaking up sunshine whenever possible. She loves connecting with new people, facilitating collaborative and empowering experiences, and providing a tender, validating witness to folks as they process their lived experiences. Beth is so looking forward to working with you!

Beth is wearing a black button up shirt and glasses. She is centered in the frame while smiling at the camera. The background is a white wall with a lamp on the left side, plants, and a picture frame on a shelf on the top right corner.
