I often describe my approach as integrative, using different techniques and perspectives to address each individual's unique needs. I work to create an nonjudgmental, unconditional, accepting, and supportive space. My job is to listen and honor your experience. However, while listening certainly goes a long way, it is not the only part of therapy. We will work as a team to address your personal needs and concerns. Therapy is a space for us to build something together.

If you have been feeling unusually down or overly stressed lately, therapy may be the answer. My expertise is in helping people deal with a variety of life issues such as decreasing stress, gaining motivation, managing relationships, and finding a greater sense of work/life balance. My primary work is with professional adults, both as individuals and couples. I combine an empathetic and individualized approach that focuses on gaining insight into your thoughts, feelings and behavior, and I use an integrated theoretical style with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral techniques (CBT).

As therapists, we work to build a genuine relationship with each client, create a safe space for discovery, and aim to understand that individual. This allows clients to safely explore alongside the therapist, and begin to see themselves with greater clarity, depth, and honesty. Good, effective therapy will likely not happen overnight (though exciting and wonderful eureka moments certainly occur along the way), and trust, honesty, and humor are invaluable to a beneficial therapeutic relationship. We believe that laughter and tears are equally powerful but that therapeutic change is measured in neither.

Practicing vulnerability is hard, but having someone with whom you can talk openly, question freely, and collaborate makes it easier. I believe that therapeutic change is nurtured through a relationship that is supportive, compassionate, and non-judgmental. Everyone comes to therapy with unique perspectives and experiences. Together, we can honor the unique lens through which you see the world and collaborate to decide what meaningful change looks like for you.

I think many of us have parts of ourselves that we’re afraid to examine too closely. Having company can make this process less frightening. I’m here to support my clients as we explore where they’re hurting, and why they’re not feeling better yet. I prefer to focus on our shared human condition instead of specific diagnoses - loneliness, pain, longing for love, pushing others away, feeling at odds with ourselves...I'm here to listen, and help each client find kindness for themself.

Therapy is a healing relationship in which our pain can be held with care and compassion. Our pain is a compass that tells us something important about our experiences and what we need in order to heal. I view healing as finding a place of rootedness and expansiveness within ourselves so that it becomes more and more difficult for our experiences of pain and oppression to throw us off balance.

I practice from an insight-oriented, collaborative, and individualized approach to meet the unique needs of each person I work with. I strive to provide a supportive and accepting space for my patients to feel heard and understood while also feeling challenged to experiment with new ways of thinking, feeling and relating. My hope is that therapy can be useful in providing tools to relieve immediate stress while also helping uncover the underlying meanings of unwanted or distressing symptoms, feelings and relational patterns in order to create lasting change.

Welcome! I’m Elizabeth and I spent 15 years in advertising before becoming a therapist. Now, I get to help people like you explore their identities, experiences, and relationships in order to create meaningful lives that feel authentic to them. With me you will find a safe space to show up as you are, and we will work collaboratively to set and work towards goals that feel authentic to you. Know that I also center myself in cultural humility, recognizing the oppressive systems/societal norms that contribute to anxiety for many of us, as well as my own place in those systems as a cishet white woman.

I work with adults and adolescents who are struggling with issues related to identity and self esteem. I want to empower you and help you gain a better sense of self, understand your boundaries, broaden your perspective and improve your daily experience. In working together, we can address the makeup of your body, mind and soul and how they interact with one another. I believe that our minds and physical bodies are all a part of one system, which is also known as embodiment - how the mind influences the body and how the body influences our thoughts, emotions and intentions.

25 years of experience in private practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist has given me the ability to create a warm and safe environment for change. Would you like to make changes in your marriage, family, children or work environment? Sometimes it is helpful to ask what the problem is, rather than why it is a problem. If you know what the problem is, it can be more helpful to solve. We use that philosophy in Brief Therapy, which can be effective for busy, active families and marriages in crises.

Growing up, my kitchen counter was an innovative space for the love, joy, pain, community, reimagining, grief, & messiness that life can be. This is what my therapeutic space feels like: a sit at the kitchen counter where you can find release, ease, and home. I see myself as a container by which folks can meet the most aligned version of themselves and cultivate a life that is truly their own. It would be such an honor to hold space for you on your journey back home to yourself. I am dedicated to holding space for all BIPOC folks, but especially women, femmes, and nonbinary folks through their healing journeys

I value collaboration within the therapeutic space in efforts to overcome adversity. I bring a sense of curiosity, empathy, and authenticity into my sessions in effort to let clients know that I am invested in what they have to say. I understand the importance of social and racial justice within therapy and I make sure my clients feel supported. Taking a client's culture, family background, and inter-generational patterns and trauma into account is a vital part of my approach. The act of opening yourself up to the therapeutic process can be scary and vulnerable. I strive to create a sense of safety within that vulnerability.

Life is often unpredictable and can demand a level of fluidity that can be hard to navigate. In moments of change, difficulty, or hardship, we might find ourselves feeling uncertain and unsure of what to think, how to feel, attend to what we may need, or how to continue caring for ourselves. During these moments we may be seeking comfort, a new perspective, or a desire to be truly seen and understood. As your therapist, l will strive to understand your unique experiences - who you are based on what you have lived through, your view of self, and how you have been impacted by culture, society, and those around you.
