I am a family and marriage counselor licensed in California with over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist both privately and in the clinic setting. I have had the honor of working with clients from children to senior adults, couples and groups. In this experience, I have worked with clients who have had visits of depression; anxiety; trauma; family issues; religious crisis; parenting challenges and self-harm thoughts. I have been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My preferred approaches include: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Person Centered, Psychodynamic and Family Therapy. Although I do not provide pastoral counseling, I assist clients whom are Christian with issues that may challenge their faith. I pray with clients (at their request) and provide Biblical scriptures as a foundation.
My counseling style is warm and interactive and I may challenge clients at times where we both agree may be barriers to moving forward. I do not give advice to clients, but assist them in finding what works for them.
Psychotherapy involves hard work, being true to yourself and awareness that real change is done outside of the therapeutic relationship. "Anything you work hard for, you appreciate more."
I look forward to working with you!

This is my first experience with therapy for myself. I have often encouraged others in my line of work to seek therapy and I also knew going in that you get what you give when it comes to therapy. My experience with Elizabeth has been eye opening! She really listens to me and offers me to explore and really challenge my reflective thinking beyond what I have ever been able to do on my own! Most of the time, I don't want the time to run out! So because my time is limited, I also use the reflection tool and journaling along with and when you share those with your therapist, she again, responds and offers more insight! What an amazing experience!
