Bethany is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Speech-Language Pathologist whose work is grounded in a deep appreciation for communication, identity, and the ways trauma, disability, and life experiences shape relationships. Drawing on her background in speech-language pathology, she brings a unique perspective to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate challenges related to connection, intimacy, and self-understanding.
Bethany is deeply affirming of diverse identities, relationship structures, and expressions of sexuality. She particularly enjoys working with polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, and kink-identified individuals and relationships, creating a space where clients can explore their experiences without fear of judgment. Her clinical interests include attachment theory, systems theory, strategic therapy, narrative therapy, and sex-positive, relationally focused care.
She strives to create collaborative, nonjudgmental spaces where clients can explore their stories, reclaim their agency, and deepen their emotional and relational connections. Drawing from multiple therapeutic models, Bethany tailors her approach to meet each client’s unique needs, with a special focus on integrating emotion, communication, and relational safety. Her work is guided by the belief that secure, authentic connection is both a basic human need and a powerful vehicle for healing.
Outside of therapy, Bethany is an active member of the Atlanta arts community. She performs with a local cast of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, participates in the Atlanta Blues and Fusion dance scene, draws, and is an avid reader. She brings that same creativity, curiosity, and openness into her clinical work, striving to create a welcoming and supportive environment where clients can show up fully as themselves.
