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.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC- NY & WA), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC -CT), and and a Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor – Master Level (CASAC – M) with 13 years of experience. I specialize in substance use, anger management, depression, anxiety, and behavior issues.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.

I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.

Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.

I work with individual adults and certain families who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, sad, lonely, sensitive, anxious, or defeated. If you're feeling heavy by everything going on, or feeling frantic, or having conflict in your relationships or are just feeling lost in any way, I would love to see if I can help! I also work with family units going through transition or strain, such as conflict between a parent and their adult child, or supporting parents who are experiencing difficult things with their child or teen.

I have a lot of experience helping people through loss, whether it's a breakup, losing a job, or a loved one - including loss of a pet, which is a specialty of mine. I have special interest in supporting other therapists, and also community organizers and activists who are engaged in social justice work. Many of my clients are trans or NB, and others are gay, lesbian, or queer. Poly and kink affirming.

I offer telehealth services to clients in California, Idaho, Washington, or Virginia.
