Meet Elizabeth

Are you tired? Worn out? Feel misunderstood by those around you? Sometimes the baggage we carry from our past can interrupt the happy future we want for ourselves. Let me help you process the trauma in your past so you can move comfortably in your better present and future. I am Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) trained and utilize therapy as a safe space to process, be heard, and learn healthier ways to move onward and upward! My approach is grounded in compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. Together, we can process grief, manage anxiety and depression, heal from loss, and find ways to move forward with hope and meaning.

My goal as your therapist is to give you a safe space to process your experiences and guidance to move forward in a healthier way.
