LMHC, 11 years of experience
New to therapy? Been before but just never got anywhere? I use a gentle but direct approach to bring awareness into what may be obstacles to living a peaceful, serene, healthy life. Workplace concerns? Relationship/friendship issues or unresolved conflicts? Dissatisfaction with life but can’t quite put your finger on it? You are not alone. And maybe what you’re trying isn’t working because, well, it isn’t working. I can help. My name is Elizabeth and I’m a licensed mental health counselor and art therapist. My specialty focus is anxiety, depression, workplace trauma, and navigating difficult relationships.
The first session the explores in broad strokes all facets of a person's make-up. We start with introductions and then move into many questions from the therapist designed to do a shallow dive into every aspect of your life. What you wish to include of elaborate on is entirely up to you. We discuss any questions you may have as well as what you can expect from therapy moving forward.
I offer an empathetic and direct approach which often involves some insightful feedback, different perspectives, and psychoeducation. I am well-versed in cognitive processing, emotional regulation, and belief systems. Once I hear your story and how you have gotten to where you are presently, we work together to create a therapeutic map forward.
Clients who work with me are open to a perspective shift and ready to make some real changes in their lives. I work with people who may have obtained many career and relationship goals and are often experiencing significant anxiety and/or mild to moderate depressive symptoms. My clients range in age from 18 to 56. I have helped many people in high level career positions, professionals, teachers, nurses, working stay-at-home moms, a surgeon, a PhD candidate, a cheese monger, and several, who like me, work in the therapy field. I tend to see people for several weeks to a few months as these interventions can often give people agency and a newfound ability to center and thrive.
ACT is a highly effective modality for work with individuals facing challenges with interrelational difficulties and life event transitions.
While very popular in social media right now, there are an abundance of misunderstandings about attachment. These patterns of behavior and underlying motivations for such are a complex derivative of earlier experiences resulting in maladaptive practices. We explore these patterns, and I help shift perspectives, effectively changing interpersonal dynamics.
A close cousin to CBT, cognitive restructuring takes into consideration how a person thinks and the ensuing feelings, thoughts, and behaviors resulting from same. I often utilize this classic reframe technique.

For years I have been unwilling to speak to anyone about my problems and have a tough time opening up to people but I took the first step and booked a session with Elizabeth. I was anxious about how everything would go but Elizabeth made me feel so comfortable and let me share my thoughts and she provided great tools and insight on how to deal with some of the things I have been dealing with
