Counseling.
Using a combination of CBT, DBT, and EMDR techniques and therapy, my goal is to help those who are struggling to overcome negative core beliefs and the pressures of society begin to see their experiences in a new light and break free from the thoughts and behaviors that are holding them back from living their fullest life.
I choose not to define people by diagnosis, rather by their life experiences, culture, and desires for their life. I work with each client to create personalized strategies to improve all areas of health and wellness.
Education.
As a dedicated clinical mental health counselor, I am here to assist guardians in understanding the complexities of the education system and advocating for the services their children need. I offer general assessments to help identify your child’s needs and provide guidance on referrals to specialists, ensuring that your child receives the best possible support for their growth and development.
I also offer professional development sessions for school systems and pre-k programs. These trainings cover a range of topics, including effective parenting strategies, classroom management and
de-escalation techniques, understanding childhood development, and other areas as requested. My goal is to equip educators and caregivers with the tools they need to support children’s success both in and out of the classroom.

My name is Elizabeth and I have worked in the field of counseling & education for over 15 years as a teacher, school counselor, college counselor, and private practice clinician. I work with clients using a person-centered approach, and CBT, DBT, & EMDR strategies to help them recognize their strengths and abilities to overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, navigate life transitions, and improve relationships. In addition to therapy, I also provide supervision services, teach as an adjunct instructor, and am a mental health consultant to Head Start.
I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults as they navigate critical life transitions. My doctoral dissertation focused on the role of the school in cultivating a climate conducive to successful social-emotional, personal, and academic transitions for middle school students. I also advocate for the role of counselors as mental health professionals in public education and speak on related subjects.
