About Beth

I am a Georgia Licensed Professional Counselor and Yoga Therapist. I have a special interest in women’s mental health; treating anxiety and ADHD using a CBT(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).

I have over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health. In the past, I have done behavioral therapy with children; in-home therapy with families; I have worked in a residential setting with children and adolescents as a therapist and Clinical Director and have worked at an outpatient center for eating disorders.  I have led yoga therapy groups at Atlanta Center for Eating Disorders, Ridgeview Institute's Women's Unit and Foundations Recovery Network. I worked in private practice at Midtown Psychotherapy Associates specializing in anxiety disorders for 7 years providing individual psychotherapy and yoga therapy groups for women. In 2019, I began Intown Atlanta Psychotherapy and Yoga located in Grant Park. After taking a year off of counseling to be at home with my newborn twins in 2021, I returned to work part-time doing online therapy.

A little about me personally...I live in Woodstock, GA with my husband, our 5 year old twins. I enjoy spending time outdoors, gardening, being with friends and family, reading, creative projects, cooking and practicing yoga. I have personal experience with infertility, pregnancy losses, NICU parenting and parenting multiples.
