Rebirth.

Hi, I'm Betina.

Human first. Mother, partner, therapist, seeker.

​

I am a greedy consumer of books and ideas, a forever student of relationship, and someone who has felt the pull toward depth too many times to keep ignoring it. I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, extensive training in trauma work including EMDR and somatic approaches, and more than fifteen years of teaching yoga and mindfulness. My work sits at a rare intersection: the clinical and the contemplative, the scientific and the sacred.

​

You were never broken. You are someone who adapted brilliantly to hard things, and some of those adaptations have outlived their usefulness. Understanding them was step one. You have probably already done that step, maybe for years. The work we do together is what comes after understanding. The body. The intuition. The integration.

​

I write about this too, about desire and midlife and mystery and the slow work of a long marriage, and you can read those pieces here before you ever sit across from me. If my way of seeing things resonates, we will probably work well together. If it does not, that is useful information too, and I would rather you find that out from an essay than from six sessions.​
