About Elizabeth

She also addresses trauma from domestic violence, sexual assault, and other crimes.
Her background includes work in psychiatric and behavioral health settings, with both inpatient and outpatient experience. She has facilitated groups and provided crisis counseling in shelters for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.

In sessions she focuses on building practical strategies and tools. She helps people set short-term, usable goals and practices skills that address thought patterns and behaviors. The pace and focus are guided by the client’s needs and priorities.
She recognizes cultural, ethnic, and sexual diversity and factors these into how she approaches each person’s situation. People who want clear, skills-based work paired with listening and support often seek her approach.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, with the therapist reflecting concerns and priorities to support decision-making. This approach helps people clarify goals and choose which skills to practice.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) works on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In short sessions clients learn practical techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Trauma-focused therapy addresses the impact of traumatic events through stabilizing skills, processing when ready, and building coping strategies. It is used for people managing post-traumatic stress, sexual assault, domestic violence, and other trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which approach or combination will best meet the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a routine, shorten travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to be on camera for every meeting. These practical benefits help people use therapy around work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
