This means I believe that although pain and anxiety are inherent to the human condition, we each have the power (and responsibility) to confront our negative thoughts and experiences to build a life that feels rich and meaningful.
Welcome! I’m Elizabeth and I spent 15 years in advertising before becoming a therapist. Now, I get to help people like you explore their identities, experiences, and relationships in order to create meaningful lives that feel authentic to them. With me you will find a safe space to show up as you are, and we will work collaboratively to set and work towards goals that feel authentic to you. Know that I also center myself in cultural humility, recognizing the oppressive systems/societal norms that contribute to anxiety for many of us, as well as my own place in those systems as a cishet white woman.

I have worked extensively through the years with clients who struggle with severe and debilitating anxiety, performance anxiety, social anxiety, athletic performance, e-sports performance, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), emotional expression, and communication difficulties.
I’m a big believer that therapy doesn’t have to be buttoned-up or artificial. It should be comfortable and real. I prefer to facilitate a casual, collaborative, & affirming environment where we can openly discuss anything that’s on your mind and empower you to explore who you are and how you relate to others. I specialize in working working with athletes (professional and amateur), e-sports athletes, musicians, poly relationships and fellow therapists in individual, relationship, and family contexts.

You matter, and your needs are important. Embracing change and seeking self-improvement are natural parts of life, and should be viewed as opportunities rather than burdens. While strained relationships, overwhelming emotions, feeling stuck in uncertainty and worry, or adjusting to life transitions may have brought you here, I trust that these can also become great initiations towards a more refined and ideal version of yourself, and the life you wish to live. If you feel ready to embark on a journey toward deeper self-understanding and experience more fulfilling relationships, I am here, and ready to walk side by side with you.
