LCSW, 25 years of experience
New to Grow
Hi, my name is Elizabeth & I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, crisis, or trauma. My sessions are relaxed, collaborative and human. My approach is not analytical and I’m down to earth. I blend evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness into the sessions.
The first session you can expect will be a relaxed conversation. You don’t have to come in with the perfect words, a list of goals, or a rehearse story. I’ll guide the conversation so you don’t have to worry about what to say.
My approach is flexible, collaborative, and tailored specifically to you. I mix evidence based methods to help clients, untangle thoughts, manage emotions, and actually feel better about themselves and a little bit lighter by the end of the session.
I have had years of experience working with children, teens and adults in both inpatient, outpatient and hospital settings.
Use reality therapy to focus on the present by helping clients evaluate their current behaviors to see if it is achieving what they desire. If not an actionable plan can be formulated.
Assist client work together to identify, challenge and change negative thought patterns and behaviors.
Incorporate spiritual practices, like prayer and scripture, discuss these role in the clients life, and encourage participation in faith based communities.
