She combines talk therapy and coaching to help clients set realistic goals and handle daily challenges. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the individual rather than following a rigid formula.
Background and approach
Elizabeth avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with sensitivity and respect. Her work includes trauma care that takes racial, historical, and generational factors into account. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy issues, work stress, caregiving strain, and changes that come with aging.
She helps clients who struggle with attention differences, self-esteem, anger, and compulsive behaviors. Elizabeth uses a mix of research-informed approaches, choosing tools that fit each person's needs. She draws on methods that focus on values, emotions, behavior change, and building safer attachment patterns.
Her sessions often include concrete exercises and skills practice that clients can use between meetings. Clients who want a compassionate clinician and practical problem-solving will find a straightforward approach here.

Approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that reflect those values. It helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching practical exercises to notice thoughts and move toward chosen goals.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current interactions. It can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy-related issues, and attachment concerns by building awareness and new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made. That way sessions match the client's goals, preferences, and daily reality.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial cues and body language while meeting from a convenient location. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and varied routines.
