About me

I am a licensed clinical counselor in Ohio, and I am also licensed in California. For over fifteen years, I have worked with adults with addiction, anxiety, grief and depression. Many of my clients have 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, and we want to be important to those we love. Being seen and heard is crucial, and sometimes, just feeling understood for a moment is priceless. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to work with you here in this forum!

Elizabeth is a wonderful therapist. I’ve learned so many skills and now have language for what I feel. A wonderfully helpful person.

Elizabeth has been very supportive, excellent listener, and someone I would highly recommend. She is able to process the information I give and help me process and understand in an empathetic way.
