About me

Welcome, I am so glad you are here. My name is Elisabeth and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Colorado. I offer a very strengths-based, client centered approach to therapy and would be honored to be a part of your journey. My clinical experiences brought me to an inpatient psychiatric unit in Chicago, a fellowship in Psycho-Social Rehabilitation and Recovery at the VA in Little Rock, and to Denver as an integrated behavioral health clinician in a primary care clinic.

I grew up in Michigan, had a short stint as a second grade teacher, joined the Peace Corps, and completed my Masters degree in Social Work at the University of Chicago. My background and clinical experiences helped me recognize the value of relationships and my primary goal is to get to know you and help support you. It is incredibly important to me be always be authentic, genuine, warm, and humorous - when it is appropriate. The majority of my clinical work is based on brief, short-term, solution focused therapy where I implement pieces of Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Dialectical Behavioral therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, mindfulness, reflective listening, and goal-oriented therapeutic strategies in my sessions.

I have experience working with behavioral changes, trauma, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and periods of adjustments. I hope that together we can create a space for growth and transformation, and I would welcome the opportunity to work with you.

Elisabeth has been extremely helpful to me in my professional role. I had what was for me a traumatic experience that I needed to work through. She actively listened to me and gave valuable and insightful feedback towards my concerns. Elisabeth helped me become a better leader!!

I took a break from counseling and was the silliest thing I could have done! It’s such a great emotional and spiritual exercise to release emotions and get in touch with them!! Excited to work with Elisabeth again bc she’s so understanding and appropriately points me in a positive direction!!!

Elisabeth is a very competent and compassionate counselor. I have found her counseling to be very insightful and it is obvious that she cares about building rapport in order to develop a personalized and effective counseling plan. I have enjoyed the clear and simple directions she has offered to help improve my awareness around my anxiety and depression. Each call has left me feeling that I have clear and attainable goals to work on and her gentle way of holding me accountable to our agreed upon weekly goals has been very encouraging and kind. Her prompt communication and flexibility has been great as well! I am glad to have been matched with Elisabeth and look forward to continue working with her.
