Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Bellaire, TX

Hi, I’m Elizabeth. I work with women and teen girls ages 15+ experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, burnout, menopause, and major life transitions.

My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused and strength-based approaches, and Christian counseling when desired. I also incorporate other evidence-based strategies to help you recognize patterns, manage difficult emotions, build healthier boundaries, and feel more confident in your daily life.

I especially enjoy working with women who spend so much time caring for others that they begin to feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or disconnected from themselves.

Therapy is available in English and Spanish. Together, we will focus on helping you feel more grounded, supported, and better equipped to move forward.

I am passionate about helping individuals overcome mental and emotional obstacles and believe that therapy should be a collaborative experience. With a focus on sexual trauma, PTSD, LGBTQIA+, and serious and persistent mental illness, I am equipped to provide comprehensive mental health services to adults of any age. In addition to my clinical work, I am an animal lover and avid reader, and I bring these passions into my therapeutic approach. I welcome clients from all walks of life, including those who practice polyamory, open relationships, or other non-traditional relationship dynamics. Kink-friendly.

Sometimes life shifts in ways we do not expect. You may notice yourself reacting differently in certain situations, feeling overwhelmed by emotions that seem to come out of nowhere, or getting stuck in thoughts you cannot quiet. You might find yourself wondering why you ruminate, why certain people or moments affect you so deeply, or why you act differently in relationships, even when you want things to be better.

These reactions are often linked to attachment experiences from childhood, unresolved past experiences, or even traumatic events later in life. The body and mind hold onto these experiences, and they can surface when we least expect them. Therapy is a space to slow down and understand what is happening, rather than feeling confused or frustrated by it.

I work with children, teens, and adults using an attachment-based and trauma-informed approach that helps clients understand the conflicts that happen inside themselves and within their relationships. Many people experience parts of themselves that want different things at the same time, such as closeness and distance, or feel strong emotions that do not seem to match the situation. Therapy helps make sense of these internal struggles with curiosity rather than judgment.

As a Licensed Social Worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Our therapeutic sessions will be packed with discovery, while building long lasting tools to apply in times of need! I’ve been practicing for 27 years, and I have developed the skills needed to address a broad spectrum of counsel. I am super excited to start our journey together!
