I offer knowledgeable and affirming relationship and identity support to queer, trans, kinky, and polyamorous clients. I'm a nonbinary lesbian who is passionate about serving LGBTQIA+ clients. I come from a sex-positive, trauma-informed, and pleasure-focused perspective. I value the mind-body connection and can use a body-oriented approach to help you navigate how mental health symptoms manifest in the body, how trauma shows up in a dysregulated nervous system, and how we can cultivate relationships with our bodies to reconnect with the present through mindfulness, imagination, and play.

I am a middle aged, white, lesbian, with experience in parenting and caretaking.
Imagine feeling better. There are many routes to this. Together, we can figure out what path works for you. I am warm and can be funny if you like, but I take you very seriously and want you to feel better. Parents, children of aging parents, folks dealing with present day stress or trying to challenge old patterns, many will find that more is possible when you let a caring and skillful person hold some of your stuff with you. Together we can create a space of safety and trust where you can get in touch with vulnerable pieces of yourself that need some attention. I would be honored to share that space with you.

I have worked with several mental health clinics that offer gay and lesbian counseling and pyschotherapy.
I have been a Boston clinician since 1975. My training is pyscho dynamic. I work with individuals and couples in short and long term therapy. I have worked in several area hospitals running structured addiction outpatient programs. I see adults with poly drug use. Many of my short and long term adult patients come in with relationship issues that may have a physiological, drug, clinical depression or anxiety component.

My particular areas of interest include surviving the trauma of interpersonal, sexual, and/or political violence; negotiating a lesbian/ gay/ bisexual/ transgender/ queer identity; and the impact of stigma on mental and physical well-being.
I believe there are many ways to bring about change, and work collaboratively with clients to identify the ways that will work best for them. My approach to therapy is integrative, incorporating relational, psychodynamic and strengths-based perspectives, as well as cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based interventions. I am committed to understanding clients within their cultural contexts, and pay close attention to the impact of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and, when relevant, religion on development and identity.

I'm Elizabeth (she/her), a therapist passionate about supporting clients of all ages. In our sessions, laughter and humor play a vital role. I prioritize the therapeutic relationship, believing it is the cornerstone of effective therapy. Genuine connections promote trust, authenticity, and mutual respect, enabling you to be your true self. I work with adults, couples, kids, and families. I draw from modalities like CBT, DBT, and IFS. I reject the one-size-fits-all approach and understand that every individual is unique. We can work together towards personal growth, healing, and empowerment.

I am currently licensed in MA, NH, and VT. As a trauma therapist, I embrace an unconventional therapeutic style, incorporating humor and a holistic approach into my clinical practice. My practice is inclusive and welcoming to individuals from all identities and backgrounds. Many of my clients are neurodivergent and members of the LGBTQIA+ community who are experiencing issues related to complex PTSD, ADHD, substance use, and autism spectrum-related disorders. Drawing upon a deep understanding of trauma dynamics and harm reduction, I stand by my clients as they venture into a path of healing and self-exploration.

Note: I am not accepting new patients at this time (April 2024). It is my belief that healing happens in relationships, and therapy is no different. We will orient our work toward what matters to you most, and through somatic tools, relationship building, and exploration of different parts of self, you can practice having choice over your patterns of being, relating, and feeling. I acknowledge the role of systems of oppression on mental health and wellness, and have particular training supporting an increased sense of safety, dignity, and belonging for those who have experienced trauma.
