Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together we will explore the reasons for seeking therapy. The therapeutic relationship is essential and we begin to build trust and establish healthy communication. I like to get an overall perspective of the client and their goals. By establishing an open, collaborative relationship, I am then able to develop a strong treatment plan for the client.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with adults who are ready to take a proactive step towards their healing. I take a collaborative approach with my clients, and work closely together to set and reach treatment goals.

Dr. Elizabeth has been instrumental in changing my negative thought processes, bringing awareness to my actions, helping me to feel confident in setting boundaries with those I love, and in challenging me to find love for myself. Would highly recommend her for anyone really wanting long-term change. Be open-minded, honest, and accountable with her and she will be your light leading you out of darkness.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is great for challenging negative or anxious thoughts and developing positive thought patterns. I work with the client to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthy patterns to reduce symptoms.

Couples Counseling

I provide a safe, encouraging space for couples to develop healthy communication and overall relationship satisfaction. I have been working with couples for 5 years, in person and telehealth settings.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I have 5 years of utilizing mindfulness into therapy work. I work to help the client reconnect with themselves and live in the present moment which can reduce symptoms of trauma, anxiety and depression.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I focus on strengths and identifying solutions to challenges that clients may be facing. Solution focused therapy focuses on applying what works to get reasonably fast results.

Trauma Informed Care

I have 6 years' experience of working with individuals who have experienced trauma. I have additional training in trauma therapy. I work to provide a safe environment, and by using research-based interventions, work towards reducing symptoms of trauma and PTSD
