Hi, I’m Elizabeth! Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just not like yourself? Do you wish you had more control over your thoughts and emotions but feel stuck? You’re not alone, and I’m here to help.

My approach is collaborative and compassionate—because you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

I offer a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself, open up, and work through what's weighing you down. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, a difficult life transition, or relationship challenges, we’ll work together to find strategies that help you feel more confident and in control. Taking this step is a big deal, and I applaud you for prioritizing your well-being. I look forward to supporting you on your journey!

First session

Our first session is about getting to know each other. I’ll take the time to learn about your background, experiences, and the challenges you're currently facing. This is a safe space for you to share at your own pace. From there, we’ll work together to create a personalized plan tailored to your needs and goals. Each follow-up session will be focused on helping you gain clarity, building effective coping strategies, and moving forward with confidence. I’m here to support you every step of the way!

Strengths

You matter, and I’m here to truly listen. I take the time to understand where you are in this moment and what you need to feel supported. Together, we’ll build on your strengths, explore new skills, and find practical strategies to help you navigate daily life with more ease and confidence. My approach is collaborative and compassionate—because you don’t have to figure it all out alone. You deserve support that feels right for you.

Ideal clients

I love working with young adults and adults who are interested in learning new strategies and skills to handle life's many challenges. If you are feeling stuck, struggling in a relationship, or handling a life change, I am ready to help you. Let’s talk—book a session today and take the first step forward. I look forward to meeting with you.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

My work will help you recognize and change negative or unhelpful thinking patterns, behaviors, and emotions.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

This practical, compassionate approach will help you build new ways of responding to challenges so they no longer control your life. Together, we’ll work on developing skills to manage overwhelming thoughts, increase emotional flexibility, and reconnect with your values and goals.

Strength-Based

This positive, empowering approach will help you recognize what you are already good at—like being thoughtful, resourceful, or determined. We will use these attributes as building blocks as you learn new skills to address your needs and challenges.

I lucked out in choosing Elizabeth. In just a few sessions, she has helped me to uncover some connections between my past and longstanding intrusive thoughts that have plagued me for over 20 years. I have been through so much counseling, yet no one has helped me draw this connection previously. Elizabeth is warm, genuine, and very intelligent. I highly recommend her.
