Hi there! My name is Elizabeth and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 17 years of experience. I have worked with clients/couples with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, addiction, and self-esteem concerns. Additionally, I am certified in perinatal mental health; working with those during pregnancy and during the postpartum period.

My heart and passion involves serving moms in the perinatal period. I am passionate about helping you discover the highest version of yourself while holding space and compassion for where you are and the factors that led you there. I partner with you to promote self discovery, vulnerability, and authenticity. I will meet you with compassion and non-judgment as your guide toward a new frame of mind.

I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, stress management, infertility, perinatal depression/ anxiety, postpartum depression/anxiety, baby blues, grief/bereavement, relationship difficulties, stress related to chronic illness and/or new medical diagnosis, eating disorders, emotional eating and exercise addiction.

I have extensive skills with adolescents/adults/families yet conceptualize my role as guiding others to vibrantly re-illuminate their lives. My passion for psychotherapy stems from my appreciation for communication as a healing agent, intensified by my MSc. in Speech Pathology from McGill University. When challenged by traumatic medical events, I was struck by patients’ capacity to recover cognitive-linguistic functioning as well as purpose/identity. At Nova Southeastern University, I cultivated expertise in individual, family, and group counseling with sensitivity to language differences/disorders and/or multiple disabilities.

I am accepting new clients! I am a down to earth therapist, who wants to help you during this time in your life. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and can treat symptoms such as depression, anxiety, OCD, history of abuse, managing stress, and effects of trauma. If this is your first time ever going through therapy I want to ensure that your are comfortable and feeling safe while we go through this together. You are not alone, and I would love to work with you!

When relationship problems occur, couples can easily hit a roadblock. Through therapy, couples quickly learn that they most likely have a communication issue rather than a fundamental flaw of the relationship. Couples therapy works on healing and improving how you communicate. Your relationship can be strengthened and the bond of your friendship restored through couples counseling. If you're struggling in your relationship, seek help early on to avoid a build-up of resentment and disconnect. It's best to be proactive with issues that arise.

What most of us want in life is to be seen, heard and understood. What we need in times of struggle is curiosity and compassion, not to be left to fend for ourselves. None of us are meant to carry the hard and messy parts alone. My goal is to help my clients to understand themselves, cope with emotions in a healthier way, and to promote a healthier mindset to shift out of thinking patterns that may keep them stuck. Through the safety of the therapeutic relationship, my goal is simple: to help clients come home to themselves.

I believe that the capacity for healing is stimulated and reinforced by interpersonal connections. My aim as a psychotherapist is to provide a supportive and safe environment where open expression and exploration of thoughts and feelings can freely take place. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker & Certified Addiction Counselor trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, motivational interviewing, and multiple behavioral therapies. I have prior experience as a therapist at a psychoanalytic institute and as an addiction counselor at both an inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment facility.

Sessions are comfortable like talking to a friend yet provide you the evidence based support you need to make forward progress you want.
