Are you feeling trapped in self-defeating patterns of behavior affecting your work, health or personal relationships? Is depression or anxiety getting in the way of feeling your best? Are you troubled by job or career uncertainty during these difficult economic times? No matter what the presenting problem, it often takes a trained professional, who, in collaboration with the client, helps sort out the issues and find solutions.

Starting therapy can be a difficult step, and you may not know where to start. My goal is to determine that together and support a path of self-understanding and positive change. I enjoy working with adults of all backgrounds and identities dealing with anxiety, depression, identity development, relationship issues, adjustment, grief, and trauma. I also specialize in health psychology with a particular interest in women’s health. Through a warm, curious, and sometimes humorous approach, I strive to make genuine connections to understand client’s needs, hopes, and fears with the goal of self-awareness and transformation.

In my role as a therapist, my foremost commitment is to guide individuals on their journey towards healing, self-discovery, and personal growth. I believe that every person possesses the resilience and strength to overcome life's challenges, and my role is to provide a safe and compassionate space where we can explore these strengths together.

I specialize in working with people feeling challenged by relationships, work, parenting (from pregnancy through empty nest), and aging, as well as people struggling with trauma, grief, and loss. I start from the position that past experiences and attachments have profound effects on our everyday lives, and our abilities to move forward. I have an interest in working with those who navigate multiple cultures and communities (through, for example, racial identity, class background, immigration, religion, gender, and sexuality), as well as those who work in education, healthcare, nonprofit, and creative fields.

I'm Elizabeth (she/her), a therapist passionate about supporting clients of all ages. In our sessions, laughter and humor play a vital role. I prioritize the therapeutic relationship, believing it is the cornerstone of effective therapy. Genuine connections promote trust, authenticity, and mutual respect, enabling you to be your true self. I work with adults, couples, kids, and families. I draw from modalities like CBT, DBT, and IFS. I reject the one-size-fits-all approach and understand that every individual is unique. We can work together towards personal growth, healing, and empowerment.

Most of our struggles are relational in nature. As a relationship expert, I will guide you toward healing your relational wounds; to step into the self-actualized, meaningful, joyful life you dream of. We all sustain traumas which shape our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world. When we understand our protective strategies we can then update our narratives, unburden our traumatized parts, heal attachment wounds, and make room to relate through our highest self. We can learn new skills in communication, somatic regulation, mindfulness, self-awareness, and more fully build the life which best serves our continual growth.

I often work with clients to build relationships, manage and extinguish anxiety symptoms, and live a fuller, more meaningful life.

Do you feel isolated, unheard, or lost? If you are looking for a personalized and compassionate approach to managing new, serious, or chronic mental health symptoms, life transitions, or an emotional health check-in, I am ready to work with you to provide comprehensive, clinacally based support.
