About me

Hello, I'm Liz!

Thank you for taking time to read about me, and my therapy approach. I earned my Master Degree in Social work with an emphasis in Mental Health in 2018 and am now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Clients would best describe me as warm, kind, and reflective. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Treatment approaches that I find most beneficial are cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and family therapy modalities. I find using activities to help clients gain skills in mindfulness are beneficial. This can include creative projects that are thought provoking, sometimes artistic, and most importantly increase awareness of who you are before the world got its hands on you. I will tailor our time together and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs!

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take the step, let's get started in writing a healthy and new chapter in your life.

I look forward to working with you!

She is the best person I have ever worked with. I love how she pushes me just enough that I face the hard times.

Elizabeth does a great job keeping me balanced and helps me put my thoughts on trial to determine if I am overthinking.

Liz is an amazing listener! And she thinks outside the box when it comes to therapy. I’ve been with a number of therapists who have never challenged me the way she does! She’s innovative in her approach and after only a few weeks, I am feeling more like myself again! I highly recommend Liz!
