Hello there, I'm Elizabeth How are you doing? How are you feeling today? Are you finding it difficult to navigate, manage and overcome daily and other life struggles? I want to start by appreciating you for taking the first step in your healing journey by being here because seeking therapy can be terrifying. It is never too soon or too late to ask for help and constructively work towards your life goals. Over the years, I have worked with individuals struggling with stressful situations, depression, anxiety ADHD, trauma-related issues etc. Let’s work through these challenges together to identify the problem, explore new and alternative ways to make changes and start building healthier habits. To get you there, we will use different evidence-based approaches based on the identified needs and goals.
In our first session, we would get to know each other; work on building rapport. We would discuss the consents and other information related to starting therapy. We would also talk about your needs and what you would like to accomplish in therapy. I also like to empower you to identify how you prefer your therapy sessions or how you would like it to be.
I use different treatment methods based on each client’s individual needs; I utilize person-centered therapy, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Anger management, Mindfulness, TF-CBT, solution-focused therapy, and Problem-solving.
My biggest strength is providing empathy and compassion and creating a safe therapeutic environment for clients to feel safe to share their vulnerabilities and strengths. I am also a passionate clinician with over 8 years of experience in this field. I have worked with a diverse population with struggles related to anxiety, depression, anger, grief, life changes, and trauma-related issues.
