I only provide telehealth at this time. I accept adjustment issues, life transitions, grief, mood or anxiety. I will be open and honest with you about what I can and cannot do for you within the confines of telehealth. I use the first session to determine that this is going to be a good fit for both of us. Therapy is very much about a good fit between two people and the right techniques. I intentionally keep a small caseload so I can give you the time without being preoccupied by keeping up volume. My availability is limited, so I can only accept mild to moderate mental health concerns. I am happy to direct you to more appropriate resources or providers if we aren't a good match. I see intake as a mutual interview for both of us to learn about each other and decide if we want to continue a therapeutic relationship. In the interest of helping you get the best care possible, I ask that you seek in-person treatment if you struggle with a thought disorder, substance abuse, partner/relationship violence, or other safety concerns. I also do not take court or DCF mandated treatment cases via telehealth. I also do not specialize in divorce or child custody matters. While I am knowledgeable in these areas, I believe the best care is in-person.

Throughout our therapeutic journey, I invite you to join me in growing and learning about yourself within the safe space we create together. With my client centered approach, you will always be the priority in our work together. My goal is to be genuine and honest with you at all times. Throughout my career and personal life, I have discovered that my heart is centered in working with young adults navigating career choices, the anxiety of the transition to adulthood and building healthy relationships; as well as guiding parents through the challenges of parenthood, pregnancy and postpartum. My experience as a school counselor for 6 years was the foundation for my love of young adulthood and the challenges faced in those times that aren’t spoken of enough. Now, as a mom of two young children I found a second passion of supporting individuals through parenthood, pregnancy and postpartum. I have found the most success for my clients utilizing cognitive-behavior therapy, mindfulness and meditation. These techniques increase gentleness, grounding, and relaxation. We often find ourselves needing a reminder to remain present in the moment as life around us moves so quickly. Combining these practices with learning to maintain positive thoughts and supporting stress management will be groundbreaking for your self development. I am so excited to meet you and begin your growth journey today.

Hello there, I'm Liz! I work with clients who are wanting to heal from past trauma experiences and get to the root causes of their struggles. Trauma changes the way you view yourself, others, and the world. It often has lasting impacts that can be manifested in your current struggles with anxiety, depression, true fulfillment in relationships, diminished executive functioning, and difficulty with honoring your needs and boundaries. My goal is to help you gain insight, build self-awareness, and foster personal growth. Some areas of focus I enjoy addressing with my clients include boundary building, negative core beliefs, strengthening internal validation, self-care, identifying trauma responses, addressing attachment wounds, aligning to your values, improving daily functioning, and developing healthy coping strategies. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic models and techniques to help my clients including but not limited to Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Polyvagal Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. For those who desire and request it, I can integrate Christian-based counseling into the therapeutic process. I believe education/knowledge of what you are going through sets the foundation to the therapeutic work you will be doing.

Wherever you are in your journey, I want to congratulate you on exploring possibilities to receive help. Therapy, like anything new or unknown, can feel scary.

Whether you are going through a life change, or you feel the need to put the past behind, or maybe simply wish to know yourself better, relate to your loved ones better, improve your academic or professional performance, face your fears, overcome a loss, or just wish to learn more efficient ways to deal with life stressors... these are all great reasons to engage in therapy. For me, genuineness, openness, and a non-judgmental approach are essential ingredients to connect with you, support you, and guide you in your journey. I have 28 years of experience. I am bilingual (Spanish) and I have professional work experience from three different countries (Spain, UK, USA). I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Certified substance abuse counselor (CADC), Certified EMDR clinician, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and I am also trained in Brain spotting. Life can be very challenging; I strive to understand and empathize with your individual circumstances and work hand in hand with you to restore your inner balance. We can never completely control what life throws at us, but we can control and modify how we respond to life events internally and externally.

Hello, I'm Dr. Ebonee. Do you feel pulled in a million directions, struggling to keep up with relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help individuals manage anxiety, avoid burnout, and break free from cycles of trauma, stress, and self-doubt. Together, we can identify what’s not working and get you back to balance. My interest in spirituality, which is not tied to any specific religion, allows me to offer a holistic approach to healing that addresses the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of well-being. I emphasize trauma’s role in shaping core beliefs, psychosocial stressors, and generational patterns, recognizing its imprint on the central nervous system. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), coaching, and positive psychology to reframe trauma narratives, foster self-discovery, and disrupt patterns of depression, anxiety, and re-traumatization. Whether you're navigating trauma, relationship challenges, or cycles of stress and overwhelm, I provide a safe space where healing begins. I know it may seem impossible, but what if I told you that you have the power to change your life? Now is the perfect time to start your healing journey. In our sessions, I’ll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques to help you overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let’s work together to build communication strategies, set boundaries, break cyclical trauma patterns, and foster self-worth for long-term stability. I’m excited to be on this journey with you! Here's a helpful video that explains the therapeutic process and what you can expect during your healing journey. https://youtu.be/R4B9BPBiIHo?si=HGNawKl7l1gVUv-z FYI: I recognize that my schedule sometimes books 3–4 weeks in advance, so please feel free to reach out if you need a sooner appointment.
