Hi! I'm Elizabeth, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe that healing happens in spaces where you feel truly seen and understood. With my background in both mental health and theology, I create a therapeutic environment that honors your full identity—cultural, spiritual, and personal. Whether you're navigating trauma, life transitions, leaving IOP settings, or identity questions, I'm here to walk alongside you with warmth, cultural sensitivity, and clinical expertise. My journey in mental health has taken me through residential facilities, faith communities, and community programs, where I've had the privilege of supporting individuals across all life stages.
