My approach is strengths-based, solution-focused, affirming, culturally and trauma informed, and grounded in the present moment. My commitment to you is to provide a safe space to explore, heal, and integrate your unique identities. At the same time, we'll develop research based, practical skills that you can immediately apply to enhance your daily life. I know how challenging it can be to take the first step toward seeking help. As an experienced clinician, I'm here to validate, support, and accompany you through this journey. Together, we will create a personalized plan to help navigate the challenges and foster strength and resilience. (Hago sesiones de terapia en inglés y español).
I work with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, and trauma stemming from their relationships, as well as contextual and systemic issues. In our initial sessions, we'll thoroughly explore the underlying problems and work together to develop a personalized plan to address them, aiming to restore balance and improve your overall well-being.
I utilize an integrative approach specifically tailored to your unique needs. This method is grounded in evidence-based interventions and relies on a relational and collaborative process. My goal is to create a warm, safe environment assisting you in discovering a positive relationship with yourself.
I'm a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping adults and their families. I'm particularly experienced in trauma, mood problems, life transitions and relationship challenges, and work from a relational lens to promote healing and growth using evidence based interventions.

Attachment-based
Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships with important people in your life impact your emotional well-being and relationships today. The idea is that these early bonds, or attachments, shape how you feel about yourself and how you connect with others. The goal is to help you build healthier, more secure connections with others and to improve your relationship with yourself. It's about understanding and healing any emotional wounds so you can feel more balanced, connected, and confident.
Integrative
Integrative therapy is an approach that blends different therapeutic techniques to create a personalized treatment plan. The idea is to tailor the therapy to fit you, rather than expecting you to fit the therapy. The goal is to help you feel better, make meaningful changes in your life, and build on your strengths in a way that feels right for you.
Trauma Informed Care
A trauma-informed approach in therapy means recognizing that past trauma can affect how you feel and act today. In our sessions, I'll create a safe, supportive space where you feel understood. We'll explore how past experiences impact you now, and work at a pace that feels comfortable. The goal is to help you heal, regain control, and move forward in a positive way, using your strengths and coping strategies.

Elisabet gently asks insightful questions that unlock truths about myself that I couldn't recognize before at a conscious level. She brings out the answers from your subconscious in a disarming and friendly way. She also makes sure to remind you that you helped do the work to find the answers too.

Elisabet has a special way of sensing what the deeper dynamics at play may be for any issues presented, and this is incredibly effective in providing actionable insights and flexible thinking to disrupt those harmful patterns that all of us wish to tame. Couldn’t recommend her more highly— our sessions are the highlight of my week every Tuesday!

Elisabet is intuitive, kind and has deep expertise. I felt safe to speak about very difficult feelings from our very first meeting.
