At Evolve Therapy, I help high-functioning adults move beyond the hidden weight of trauma, anxiety, and chronic pain. I help people who are ready for something deeper than just coping.

Whether you’re just starting therapy or have been working for years, I’ll help you reconnect with yourself, get out of survival mode, and start feeling more fulfilled in your life.

You've tried weekly therapy.

You're still stuck.

  • You've done the work — the journaling, the sessions, the skills — and you still feel like you're running on fumes.

  • Just as you start going deep, the 50-minute session ends. And next week you start over.

  • You're ready for something that actually gives you the time to go somewhere.

Here's what's different at Evolve Therapy.

Sessions start at 90 minutes — enough time to actually get underneath what's been stuck.

Therapy intensives go even deeper: extended, concentrated work that can move you further than months of weekly sessions.

Everything I do is nervous system-based. We're not just talking about your patterns — we're working with where they actually live.

Therapy that goes deeper — mind, body, and nervous system.

At Evolve Therapy, I use neuroscience-informed, body-based approaches like Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) and trauma-focused therapy to help you move beyond coping and into real healing. Instead of just talking about your patterns, we work with the deeper parts of your nervous system — where those patterns first formed — so change actually sticks.

If you're ready to go deeper than weekly therapy allows, therapy intensives might be the right fit. Instead of 50 minutes of scratching the surface, intensives give you focused, uninterrupted time to actually process what's been stuck — and make more progress than months of traditional therapy. I also offer 90-minute sessions for those who prefer an ongoing cadence.

Learn about therapy intensives

Hi, I’m Beth — and if you’re ready for real change, you’re in the right place.

I work with adults who are smart, capable, and tired of surface-level therapy.

My style is warm, direct, and real — I’ll laugh with you when it helps and sit with you in the hard stuff when it matters.

Together, we’ll explore what’s underneath the patterns that keep showing up for you.

If you’re looking for a trauma therapist who will meet you where you’re at, go deep, and stay real — I’d be honored to work with you.

    Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)

    DBR focuses on accessing the core of the traumatic experience at the brainstem level. Targeting the deep brain level of the midbrain - DBR follows the original physiological sequence processing and releasing stored experiences.

    Parts Work Therapy

    Parts work attends to the internal conflicts of our personality that, when left unresolved, can interfere with efforts toward healing. Parts work is vital to healing PTSD/complex trauma, dissociation, and chronic pain. We utilize Structural Dissociation Theory, Ego State Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
