Professional Background and Expertise

Elizabeth focuses on feeling, dealing, and healing from the inside-out, empowering clients in their life journeys through using a client-led therapeutic style from Person-Centered Therapy. My main priority is to create a safe and supportive space for the client to be authentic and talk openly to help the client discover their own solutions. Ultimately promoting autonomy, self-exploration, and personal growth. All the while fostering a sense of acceptance and unconditional love. This approach benefits those who struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. Other approaches integrated into my therapy sessions would be Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-based stress reductions, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Elizabeth enjoys working with adolescents, young adults, and older adult populations. Based on personal knowledge and experience, an enlightened passion has blossomed in helping those who have been or are currently struggling with intimate partner violence. Intimate partner violence refers to behaviors within an intimate relationship that cause physical, sexual, or psychological harm.
