Hi there! My name is Elisabeth and I have been working in the field of mental and behavioral health for over 15 years. I graduated from my master's program in San Francisco in 2013. My focus is working with folks to decrease negative thoughts/behaviors using DBT and somatic practices in order to create a sense of balance and contentment with life.
I work really hard at being transparent and direct with my clients. This is a key element in building a trusting relationship. I believe the relationship is at the cornerstone of effective therapy.
I ask that client practice the DBT and somatic skills that we go over together in session. I think it's really powerful to write your experience and bring it in to future sessions so we can explore what worked and where we need to troubleshoot.
