I believe that everyone deserves time and a safe space for self-care, where individuals can be heard without judgement. I also believe that everyone deserves to work through concerns while feeling supported when making difficult decisions.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been working in mental health for almost 20 years. I have worked with people who have been diagnosed with: Bi-polar, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, ADHD, and life-limiting medical illnesses, as well as people dealing with grief, phobias, relationship and school issues. I have worked in community, inpatient, outpatient and hospital settings. I like to utilize a variety of treatment modalities because I have found that a “one size fits all” approach to mental health, is about as relatable to most people as a one size fits all bathing suit. I am proud of you for reaching out and I look forward to working with you.

Elizabeth has been there for me during a really challenging time in my life. She gave me exactly what I needed; someone to non-judgmentally and empathetically listen to my story, rather than trying to fix all of my problems. While it is wonderful that I have now gained the skills and confidence to venture out on my own, I will miss our weekly chats.

Elizabeth is very responsive. She respects her clients and truly listens to their stories. She truly cares.

Liz is the kindest, most competent, and most down to earth therapist I have ever worked with. She's flexible and caring, and I have been able to share things with her I have never been able to share with anyone. She is a total professional, but you also feel personally supported by her. I highly recommend her if you are deeply struggling (as I have been) and need someone who actually knows what they're talking about. Thank you for not giving up on me, Liz!

Elizabeth makes me feel comfortable sharing my thoughts, which helps me in so many ways. She has helped me to feel validated and supported. I really appreciate her input as well.
