Eliza is both compassionate and helpful. She doesn’t just listen, she compassionately offers opportunities to rethink your own mindset and also rethink the mindset of others you may be engaging with (whether that is a spouse, family, or friend). Every session we have she is respectful of my perspective, opinion, and actions but she always makes think about those thoughts/actions regardless of them being “correct”. Perspective matters and I appreciate her 10,000ft view so much more than I thought I would. She has been an absolutely fantastic way to center myself on my pursuit of simply being a better version of who I am.

More about Eliza
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW-C, LICSW
I am a clinical social worker and am licensed in Maryland and Washington, D.C. I have over 20 years of professional work experience providing counseling to adults and families. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from The University of Virginia and a Master of Social Work degree from Catholic University in Washington, D.C.
I use a collaborative, compassionate, solution-focused, and strength-based approach to counseling in an effort to foster healing and resilience. I have experience in helping clients with a variety of concerns including stress and anxiety, grief and loss, adoption issues (for adoptive parents, birth parents, and adoptees), motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, and depression. I also have additional experience facilitating workshops, trainings and support groups on a variety of subjects.
I believe in starting counseling where you, the client, are. You have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Counseling is a valuable resource when facing challenges. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process and help you navigate your questions, worries, and concerns so you can meet your goals.

About online counseling

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.

I lucked out. We were a good fit from the first contact. Before starting I was really concerned about finding the correct therapist for me. I’m still confident.
Personable and supportive while helping you navigate your goals. She has made recommendations / suggestions that have changed how I approach important situations and life decisions.
For the short period I feel comfortable and feel this will help me reach goals.
Been with Eliza for a few months now and she has been AMAZING. She has been helping me transition to a new part of my life. Highly recommend!
I am pleased with our sessions. Eliza is very good at pin pointing issues on which to focus.
From the moment I started with Eliza, I felt completely comfortable. It took me a long time to get back to therapy but she set my mind at ease right away. Eliza is not only a great listener but also provides thoughtful and practical feedback. I would definitely recommend her!
Simply Amazing
I love my therapist and would recommend her to anybody who’s looking for therapy.
Personable, compassionate, and also sensibly insightful. Great listener, but when needed she will tell you what you NEED to hear, in addition to just hearing you. See provides thoughts without judgement and some of her ideas have helped me further my life in ways I wasn't even seeking therapy for in the first place. Therapy is hard to start but Eliza immediately made me feel welcome and I wish I had started with her earlier. Her insight has (and continues to) help me and I'm so happy she is in my life.
Eliza has shown from moment one all the compassion, knowledge and true care. She listens thoughtfully and deeply. Recalling your experience with using direct language that speaks to you. Our sessions have been a conversation as two old friends. I am extremely grateful for having her care.
