FEELING A LIFE HICCUP? I engage clients where they are in life. My Therapeutic Techniques help clients find benefits in their growth. I believe in educating clients to understand the value of therapy and establish a trusting connection. My clients find that the therapeutic and holistic techniques used in treatment reduce their symptoms and pursue a better quality of life. My experience spans more than 15 years in Trauma, PTSD, Domestic Violence, Human Trafficking, Sexual Abuse, Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, Social Anxiety, and OCD. I am a multiculturally, trained, and competent counselor. Welcome your first day of healing!

Congratulations on taking the first step in your quest for a more fulfilling life. According to Dr. Oz, 60% of women feel lonely or isolated, which leads to depression and anxiety. My practice aims to reduce this number through individual group counseling combined with holistic yoga and meditation. Together we will help you feel empowered while connecting with others. I believe life is a series of obstacles upon which we have the freedom to learn, change and grow. I welcome the opportunity to team with you as we unlock your true potential.

My philosophy is that "It takes courage to be happy. . . again." So many people will stay stuck in a life situation and before long, it starts to feel "comfortable" at least to the extent that it is either too scary or too difficult to try to make those necessary changes. Often, it takes the guidance of a trusted therapist to help one discover where, how, and why a person is stuck, to point out distorted thinking, and to help map a plan for progress towards a goal. My 25 years of experience in the field creates my philosophy and approach. Let's begin the journey.

You are in need of some sort of help. You have tried talking to your parter, your friend or family member and they are not making you feel secure. You may wonder why or if something is wrong with you...well I can promise you there is nothing wrong with you. Your feelings and needs are valid and it is my job to help you feel that way, so that you do not question yourself and you feel confident in the decisions you are make on a daily basis. Life is not easy and sometimes it helps to talk your thoughts out loud to a professional (like myself) who will listen without bias or without judgement.

You may find me using a Cognitive Behavioral approach- engaging you to challenge destructive belief systems that work against your goals and cause anxiety and depression; or we may need to go slow in the sessions and hear the "story" to piece together the journey- the decisions made, the traumas experienced and the hurt and loss. All are validated, and all experiences are reviewed as learning opportunities and guide posts for the future.

I believe that the mind, body and spirit are important in promoting lasting wellness.

I like to work with individuals and couples to help them develop more curiosity about their challenges so that they gain insight into what keeps them from living more abundantly. When indicated, I also explore the roots of personal problems so that people can achieve deeper understanding about themselves and the core issues that get in the way from living more freely and getting the most from their relationships.

I have been working as a psychotherapist and mental health counselor in Naples Florida for the past 10 years. I am a strong believer in developing a supportive partnership between myself as a therapist and my clients in pursuit of a healthier life style.

I am a Psychotherapist in Naples, Florida. My counseling philosophy encompasses a concentration on addressing clients' needs by assisting them through their journey in life, using empowerment, and solution-focused approaches. My technique as a counselor is individualized, integrative, and compassionate. I strive to create a deeply caring, nonjudgmental atmosphere, where people can express themselves, and feel supported. I believe that each person has a desire to lead a life of authenticity and meaning. I see each person as unique with individual goals based on their lifestyles and desires. Weekend office hours are available.

Every individual will come across challenges and situations that may feel overwhelming in life. The hardest step can be walking through that door; once you make that first step, you will not be alone in your quest towards finding enjoyment through purpose and meaning in everyday life. As a psychologist, my primary goal is to provide a safe space within the therapeutic relationship to explore and gain awareness of current challenges, past behavioral patterns, and coping skills.

I provide a non-judgmental space for individuals wanting to learn skills to manage difficult thoughts, emotions, and situations, so that they have less impact over life. I collaborate with clients seeking help for concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationships, adjustment and challenging life situations. *Note: I conduct sessions via telemental health. This means that we would conduct therapy online using live video through a secure platform.

Elizabeth specializes in working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, and grief. Elizabeth has a heart for help the hurting, the wounded and the broken. She has a desire to help those who have experienced unimaginable trauma locally and abroad, especially in Africa.

I chose to work in the field of counseling because I am truly satisfied when I am helping others. I work with clients to explore how unresolved issues from the past impact the present. The decision to seek individual therapy can be uncomfortable, but rewarding. The therapeutic process is a unique and collaborative process, in which you are the expert of your experience. When one accepts and validates the therapeutic relationship, it will become a key element in the healing of old wounds and the opening of new possibilities in which will lead to greater personal insight and change.
