Therapist

Hi, I'm Elizabeth. Many of my clients experienced talk therapy in the past and felt that something was still missing. If this sounds like you, I invite you to try a different type of therapy. I specialize in working with: “Things look great on the outside but I feel like a mess on the inside,” Struggling self-worth, low confidence, chronic shame, self-criticism, and "What is my purpose?" My desire is to help you return to your natural state of aliveness, presence, and inner clarity. The details are on my website (there's a link on this page) but the short of it is- I can support you at the heart of things effectively and efficiently.

I know that reaching out for help often feels like the hardest part. My goal is to make our first steps together feel safe, steady, and deeply human. I don’t just see a "client"—I see a person with a unique story, incredible resilience, and a longing to feel like themselves again. In our space, there is no judgment, only room for you to breathe and be heard.

Therapist

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience walking alongside people through some of life's hardest moments. Whatever brought you here: grief that's hard to put into words, depression, anxiety, the weight of a trauma you've been carrying, or the fear and uncertainty that come with a serious illness or a major life change, you don't have to face it alone.

Much of my career has been spent in palliative care, hospice, and grief and bereavement support. I work with adults navigating grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, serious illness, and life transitions. I'd be honored to support you through yours.
