You're slamming the alarm clock; it was another night of broken sleep. You're feeling drained and wishing for a moment of peace and happiness. You are constantly giving to others when you're running low and rarely have time for yourself. You feel pressures and stress piling up and weighing on your shoulders. You want to reach out for help but are scared of being vulnerable and driving people away. At night when you lay down to sleep, the thoughts are racing and the worries return. All that you want is understanding, support, and acceptance.

."I belong, therefore I am." The sense of belonging has often been wounded, damaged or undeveloped. Initially in our family, later in school, with friends and at work. Through the process of exploration and self-searching, we can begin to let ourselves go. When we are kind, and less consumed by our own ego; the darkness of depression and anxiety have less of a hold and we can find freedom.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Therapy can seem more intimidating in your mind than it may actually feel in action, once the process becomes normalized and you build essential rapport with your therapist. Folks who have never been in therapy before may feel nervous about starting, unsure of how to conceptualize their lived experiences into words. That is completely OK and common to feel when starting something new. I am here to support you every step of the way and together we can create a process to improve your all-inclusive wellbeing. Let's start wherever you are and see where it leads us.

Do you feel like you are struggling with grief, grief related trauma or anxiety? Most often we understand grief by the physical death of a person or the grief that comes with someone you know being terminally ill awaiting death. However, grief can be the loss of: a relationship, a career, a pet, a culture, and a hobby/interest. The process or journey of grief affects everyone and expresses differently.

I am a clinical psychologist with 10+ years of experience. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety disorders, substance use, acculturation, and relationship/interpersonal difficulties and more.
