If you are new to therapy or perhaps have tried therapy before and just didn’t get anywhere, perhaps it’s time for a new approach. I use a gentle, supportive, compassionate approach to challenge what may be misconceptions, often leading to insight and a new found ability to make real and lasting changes in your life. Whether you are dealing with Relationship/friendship issues, parenting challenges, workplace issues or unresolved conflicts, I listen with an understanding ear. I help people address serious anxiety, ADHD, mild depression even when most components in life could be going quite well. Sometimes things aren’t working because, well, they’re not working. I’ve working with people who make good livings, are highly educated, have beautiful homes. In my practice I’ve seen teachers, nurses, research scientists, a dentist, a VP, an HR executive, a cheese monger, and many, many undergrad and grad students. I use a gentle but direct approach to bring awareness into what may be obstacles to living a peaceful, serene, healthy life.
In the first session, we focus on exploring, in broad strokes, all facets of the client's life. We start with introductions and then move into many (so many) questions from the therapist designed to do a shallow dive to see what is important to you and where you may be experiencing challenges. What you wish to include or elaborate on is entirely up to you, an aspect that the therapist will discuss further in session. Ultimately, we land on what you may mostly need to explore in therapy and your specific steps you can take to achieve your therapeutic goals. We wrap up with 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 support, insightful feedback, and a different perspective. My strengths as a therapist reflect a deep understanding that while each of our stories are very different, the patterns we may operate from are uncannily similar. I listen with a discerning ear to what may be unclear to individuals and use gentle responses to illicit new understandings.
Clients who work with me are open and ready to make a real change in their lives. I work with people who may have obtained many career and relationship goals and yet are often experiencing significant anxiety. mild to moderate depressive symptoms, or other problems of which they may not yet be aware. 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
