Whatever the obstacle - fear to move forward, nagging self-doubt, or a harsh inner critic that tells you that you can't do it, I'm here to help you get unstuck! I'm passionate about working with adults affected by anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma as well as those wanting to focus on personal growth and relational issues. I have a background in Executive Functioning Coaching and Holistic Health Coaching, and expertise in a variety of approaches including Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Depth Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Inner Child Healing, Somatic/Body Work, and Meditation.

Do you have a sense deep down that your life could be so much better? Have you found that despite your best efforts, you continue to struggle with low self-esteem and self-sabotaging behaviors and emotions that thwart your happiness? In my work as a psychotherapist, I have helped people with a wide range of problems overcome the obstacles that get in the way of positive change. It would would be a pleasure and privilege to work with you in helping you achieve your goals for a more fulfilling life.

Making the decision to begin therapy can be difficult and may weigh heavily on us yet it can make all the difference when we feel overwhelmed, helpless, or alone. If you have something in mind that you would like to see change, we can work collaboratively to address emotional barriers, past experiences, stressors, or patterns of behavior which may be negatively impacting your symptoms. I believe that a non-judgmental, safe, validating, culturally competent, and empathic therapeutic relationship is the foundation for change. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and relational conflicts.

Is life becoming increasingly unmanageable, leaving you feeling empty, or as if you’re just going through the motions? Do you find yourself using substances to cope with difficult emotions or stressors? The ups and downs that come with the human experience can often be difficult to navigate, especially when we feel as though we have to face these challenges alone. I’m here to tell you that you’re not alone in what you are going through. I believe that there is always hope, even in life’s darkest moments.

Humans are social beings that are constantly oscillating between autonomy and dependence on others. Our relationship with ourselves impacts our relationships with others; our relationships with others impacts our relationships with ourselves. To live a life of joy and purpose, it is critical that we examine these relationships in the context of the socio-historical realities that we are facing and the realities our ancestors before us faced. Distress can come from many sources and manifest in our minds, bodies, and spirits; healing can also come from many sources to strengthen our minds, bodies, and spirits.

In the therapeutic setting, my goal is to provide clients the space to be their most authentic selves. Too often in society, we are forced to wear a façade, or be a fraction of ourselves in any given space, for fear of being “too much” or fear of not being accepted fully. In our sessions, I encourage you to take up space unapologetically. I love being able to help my clients discover their real selves and give them the tools to overcome any obstacles in their journeys towards wellness. I show up to sessions as my authentic self, and I encourage my clients to do the same. The work begins where the masks end.

I'm passionate about working with people who desire to learn, reflect, and grow--even if it's hard to find the motivation or energy to do so. Their goals are to work through their current situation by building skills and developing insight together. We often seek therapy when things are not going well only to realize it is a tool that can help us reach our goals no matter the circumstance. I am a firm believer that taking the step to care for your mental health will undoubtedly change so many aspects of your life, and I hope to provide support as you continue to build your skills and work toward your goals.

Finding a therapist that meets your needs and makes you feel comfortable makes all the difference in the therapeutic process. It’s one of the most important factors that impact treatment and recovery. Therapy is a journey that should be shared with someone you’re comfortable with and trust. Working with me you will find a sympathetic and genuine therapist. I partner with my clients and gently challenge them in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. I encourage them to explore their thoughts, feelings, and fears in order to understand the obstacles they are experiencing and help them make the changes that are necessary to improve life

Renew. Revive. Restore. The decision to begin therapy is a brave one. Embarking on a journey of healing is an investment in one's self. I seek to partner with clients on their quest to better understand themselves, their relationships and their lives. In the confines of a respectful, nurturing relationship, clients heal from their past and create a new narrative in which they can thrive.

I am a licensed clinical neuropsychologist specializing in neuropsychological and psychodiagnostic evaluations and treatment. I work with adolescents and adults who present with cognitive changes in the context of neurological, medical, and psychiatric conditions. Areas of clinical interest include dementia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, autoimmune disorders, and psychiatric disorders.

You may feel a sense of stuck-ness, a deep dissatisfaction that makes it hard to get up in the morning. Maybe your brain won't shut up and keeps racing ahead to the next worry, the next fearful thought. One thing's for sure: You want someone to talk to about what's going on, who knows what it's like to feel painfully down and stressed out. Someone who can help you get back on track to a more enriching and rewarding life. I've worked with people struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse and relationship issues in a supportive, open way that respects clients' autonomy and values.

UPDATE: Currently, I do have a few openings for new clients, and I am providing all services via telehealth. My practice consists of a small group of psychologists focused on helping clients make changes toward more fulfilling, connected, and healthier lives. Knowing it can be difficult to reach out for help, I create a caring, safe space in which we work collaboratively to foster healing and eliminate barriers to finding meaning and living life more fully. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor, and it is key to develop an effective and nurturing relationship in which we have a common understanding of the challenges you face.

How do you treat yourself? Can you say you treat yourself with the same compassion and care you show your family? Your friends? Your partner? Are you your best supporter or your biggest critic? We should talk! My passion is working with adults who are not satisfied with their relationships - with friends, family, or significant others. You deserve to feel loved and important, I want to help you identify and remove the barriers keeping you from realizing the life you want.

Hi! My name is Eliza and I'm actively taking new clients. I'm very aware of how vulnerable therapy can feel and am continually grateful for the opportunity to be let into people's inner lives. I aim to build a relationship where you can explore your authentic & genuine self without feeling judged by the expectations and pressures of others. There are so many places in the world where we may feel like we have to do or be something, and you deserve to have at least one where you can just be.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years experience in a private practice setting. I am a faculty member of Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. I graduated from Harvard University in Psychology and Social Relations, and received an Ed.M. degree from the Harvard Gradate School of Education and a Ph.D. degree from Northwestern University. My personal style is compassionate, open and actively involved. I create a space in which I come to know and support an individual or a couple as we face life's challenges together with dignity and hope.

It is ok to not be ok. As we go through life, stressors increase, anxieties grow, and we can forget what it means to just be. We bring to relationships a lifetime of experiences which can hinder us or help us. Through all of this haze, we can lose sight of taking care of ourselves, understanding our needs, and making choices with those needs in mind. Being a human is a work-in-progress. I see it as an honor to stand with someone as they confront, explore, renovate, and soothe the self. With work, I believe a person can find their shine.

Relationships can be a powerful source of fulfillment to draw from in our lives. Miscommunication, old patterns, unrealistic expectations and daily stress sometimes step in, preventing them from providing that happiness and strength. Therapy can break down barriers to improve communication, decrease conflict and increase emotional and physical intimacy. I specialize in the respectful treatment of relationship and sexual concerns, utilizing an open, honest, and sex-positive approach to help assess your unique personal goals and assist you in developing more positive and fulfilling relationships- with yourself and with partners.

I have expertise in collaborating with clients from diverse backgrounds to analyze problems and identify solutions. I enjoy working with reflective, questioning adults who are struggling with handling painful emotions, resolving difficult relationships, moving through trauma, or negotiating life transitions. I have particular interest in working with visual and performing artists, academics, graduate students, clients making major life changes, and older adults in transition to retirement. My approach is strengths-based, offering empathy and a commitment to focusing on assets.
