Great to meet you!

So happy you are here. My name is Elizabeth. As a licensed clinician with 16 years of experience supporting teens and young adults in processing trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and adjusting to life transitions; my hope is to create a safe space through compassion and empathy.

I take a holistic approach to treatment, and acknowledging the unique ways culture, identity and lived experiences influence healing and growing. Together, we will work to explore areas of your life that are challenging to set you on a path towards making positive changes in your life.

I believe that building a genuine, open, and honest therapeutic relationship with my client is the best way to connect. In an effort to do so I will bring my most authentic self, as a bi-racial female, having lived and worked professionally in CA and NY. I like to think that having lived bi-costal, undoubtedly shows up in the work we do together, I find the balance between being kind but honest.

My approach to therapy

I recognize that sharing about yourself can be uncomfortable, especially when sharing with a stranger, even if that stranger is a therapist. Our first sessions is focused on creating a safe space and moving at a pace you feel comfortable with as we explore what has brought you to therapy, relevant history and potential goals. In our work together, we’ll explore not just what feels difficult right now, the current and past challenges, but also at the whole of who you are, your strengths, areas in need and capacity for growth.
