I am a licensed clinical counselor in Ohio. For over twelve years, I have worked with adults with addiction, anxiety, grief and depression. Many of my clients experienced past trauma, family conflicts, and issues with motivation and self-esteem.
My vision of counseling is to come along side the person who is hurting to offer understanding and encouragement as you share your story so that together we can figure out a plan for moving forward. My counseling techniques emphasize behavioral strategies and interpersonal skills, while drawing on the tenets of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT emphasizes living and engaging in life according to your values so that you make intentional choices and feel better with the choices you make. My overall approach is person-centered, and our interaction will always be underscored by respect and genuine care.
We want our lives to matter, we want our relationships to matter, and we want to be important to those we love. Being seen and being heard is crucial. Sometimes, just feeling understood for even a moment is priceless. I am very glad to have the opportunity to work with you here in this forum!

Elizabeth is caring, direct, and helps me understand myself, and is helping me to be kinder and more accepting of myself. She makes something that I wasn’t very comfortable about, completely non threatening, and more therapeutic than I imagined.

Disclaimer: I am a poet.
She is a gem. Saddening that we must part. We stood to continue to address and resolve many of my difficulties. Her touch, warmth and wisdom engage in a singular way. Attentive and affirming, she encourages soul searching. I bore dark, embarrassing deeds to the woman. Recalled sour and scary dispositions of thought & feeling. Regret, failing, trauma, misapprehension & more were shared. Still, she listened, and gave what she had. I was often silent, too... between being stunned & speechless at her insights, I was quiet.
She is be an attractive offering to anyone who seeks counseling.

Elizabeth has been a godsend. She has helped me through so much in the last year and a half. I am slowly learning to give myself the same grace she grants me on a weekly basis. I know that because of her, I'll move more freely through this life, relieved of many emotional burdens.

Elizabeth is incredibly responsive, supportive, and intellectual. I enjoy the resources she sends to supplement our sessions. I appreciate being able to message her (often long and rambling) and she always responds. It’s comforting to know someone is there for you. She is unpretentious and communicates like a real, relatable human being so I feel safe and understood.

Always quick to respond to something, even if it feels like it's not that important. I have had very hard conversations with her that have really helped me turn things around. I am grateful for her help and the services that BetterHelp offers.

Elizabeth has been an amazing support to me. She has been an incredible Christian guide to give me the balance and reminders for the things I need to hear. I have gone through difficult challenges for myself and am able to better apply them after working with Elizabeth. Just recently, I have experienced something from my past I wasn't aware of and she was empathetic and I didn't feel alone.

Written on Sep 25, 2020 after therapy with Elizabeth for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, eating disorders, self esteem, coping with life changes, and coaching
About ten minutes into the first session I knew I had made the right choice in deciding to use BetterHelp. They paired me with Elizabeth, and the fit is exactly right for me. I had spent almost two years trying to find a therapist on my own that understood me without any success.
Elizabeth is kind, honest, and clearly an expert at what she does. My time with her could not be better spent. Every communication gives me something to process and consider and ask more about. My life is better for having worked with her.
Written on Sep 19, 2020 after therapy with Elizabeth for 2 months
Elizabeth has meaningful insights that are balanced with thoughtful listening skills. She is able to see into the heart of a problem before it’s been uncovered, and is also able to bring light to an issue in a gentle manner.

Written on Jul 29, 2020 after therapy with Elizabeth for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, and compassion fatigue
Elizabeth is fantastic. She let me take control of the direction and style of my own therapy, offering different options and explaining why each might or might not be useful to my situation. She's a great listener and also not afraid to look to a personal experience to give her patients a clarifying example. Most of all, she approaches the sessions from the space that her patient needs her to.

My time with Elizabeth has been extremely helpful. She has been a tremendous help in exploring some concepts that have been a tremendous asset for me.
Written on Jan 06, 2020 after therapy with Elizabeth for 5 months on issues concerning addictions, family conflicts, and self esteem
I have tried counseling in the past but have never found a good “fit.” Working with Elizabeth has been a very helpful experience. The convenience and anonymity of BetterHelp fit my needs very well, and Elizabeth was always quick to respond and was able to help me work through some difficult times. I would (and already have) recommend BetterHelp, and Elizabeth to friends seeking counseling. I am a healthcare provider and see first hand the impact a lack of mental health services has both on myself, and on my patients. I am thankful I found BetterHelp as an affordable and realistic option to care for my mental health and would recommend it to patients without access to more traditional home health services.

Elizabeth is an amazing and supportive counselor!

My counseling with Elizabeth has been incredibly helpful during a time when I had lost myself. She guided me with discussion, validation and suggestion rather than simply lots of homework. I felt safe telling her things I needed to get off my chest and guided to living the life I want. I'm grateful to her and Better Help for this incredibly accessible communication and the ability to reach help on my schedule.

She is very nice and understanding, I had tried someone in person before and it just didn’t seem to work out. Elizabeth on the other hands helps me a lot and gives me hope. She seems like she genuinely cares and her voice is very soothing. It’s like she tells you it’s going to be ok in just the tone of her voice. I am so glad I tried this because she gives me hope and faith that this won’t be me for the rest of my life.
