All couples experience issues in their relationship. This is the challenge that comes with the incredible closeness of intimacy. Sometimes, when things seem fraught or tense, I suspect that each of you become an island: disconnected, reactive, defensive, adversarial. One or both of you are unable to see or hear anything EXCEPT: “it’s me against you.” Do you want something else: to break this cycle and relate to each other with care and respect as partners?

Maybe you’re struggling to understand why no matter what you do, it never feels like "enough". You sometimes feel like you don’t quite belong in the world, or like others have some kind of shield and map that you were never given. You might even be incredibly self-aware of your grief or trauma, but have difficulty processing your feelings because you always had to push down your pain or focus on others. Maybe you’ve dealt with painful relationships that have made it difficult to trust yourself and your feelings. You might be dealing with overwhelming life transitions or trying to explore your identity and purpose.

Hi there! I’m Elizabeth, or Liz for short. I am experienced in working with trauma. This is a commonly used word and there are many definitions for it. What I mean is that I help people who have gone through events in their lives, whether singular or reoccurring, that have caused parts of their personality to separate from other parts. This could be experienced through relational conflict, addictive tendencies, dissociation, sex, drugs, procrastination, a lack of motivation, inner conflict, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping or eating. My approach is somatic and relational, working with what shows up in the present moment.

I am currently pursuing an M.S. in Counseling through Prescott College with an emphasis on Nature-Based Counseling. I see building a deep relationship with the natural world as having a strong therapeutic value in overcoming challenges associated with anxiety, depression, and grief in adults and children. Rekindling and fostering a connection with nature can help heal our relationship with ourselves and those around us.

Hi, my name is Candice, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I really enjoy working as a therapist, and I take a non-judgmental approach and feel grateful and honored to have people let me into their space. I enjoy working with individuals from late adolescence to older adulthood. I employ active listening and ask for clarification when needed. I explore with the client and summarize what has been spoken. Many times, it is helpful to have someone as a sounding board, with a unique perspective on the situation. I am not confrontational in my approach but prefer to offer thoughts and ask for feedback.

I like working with people who recognize that they want or need to change something in their lives that they haven't yet figured out how to do by themselves. This includes people who feel they are stuck creatively-- working on a particular project that just doesn't move forward. Sometimes it is a question of what needs to change, as well as how to make that happen. While this process requires work that only they can do, therapy gives them a place to learn ways to do this work, using cognitive and experiential techniques.
