About Elizabeth
Focus: Individual therapy related to trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationships, life transitions, and behavioral concerns.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience providing group and individual psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and families in multidisciplinary settings. My therapeutic approach is strengths-based, relational, and client-centered, with an emphasis on building trust and understanding the experiences and patterns that influence how we think, feel, and relate to others. I tailor treatment to each client’s needs, drawing from evidence-based interventions including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
I believe effective therapy requires looking beyond symptoms or behaviors to understand the experiences that shape them. I work collaboratively with clients to process difficult or traumatic experiences, identify what is getting in the way, strengthen coping and communication skills, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. I strive to provide a thoughtful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult experiences, develop practical skills, and gain a clearer understanding of themselves.
