More about Elizabeth

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hello, I'm Liz!

Thank you for taking time to read about me, and my therapy approach. I earned my Master Degree in Social work with an emphasis in Mental Health in 2018 and am now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Clients would best describe me as warm, kind, and reflective. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Treatment approaches that I find most beneficial are cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and family therapy modalities. I find using activities to help clients gain skills in mindfulness are beneficial. This can include creative projects that are thought provoking, sometimes artistic, and most importantly increase awareness of who you are before the world got its hands on you. I will tailor our time together and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs!

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take the step, let's get started in writing a healthy and new chapter in your life.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Elizabeth is amazing. She asks questions that give me pause and make me think. Liz offers reasonable paths of growth and listens to my hopes and fears. Sometimes it seems she has a better understanding of what I'm thinking than I do. But she somehow lets me come to it by myself.

Reviewed July 2024

Elizabeth has been an absolute lifesaver since I started working with her. I was going through a really hard time and not eating, sleeping, or thinking very clearly, and having Elizabeth to talk to and help balance things out was vital. I've had an incredible amount of trouble finding and keeping a therapist given all my issues, and most won't work with my situation when they find out about it all, but Elizabeth took everything in stride, opened herself to understanding, and has changed things so much for the better. It's been wonderful to work with her.
