Living with anxiety, OCD, and/or ADHD can be overwhelming, affecting various aspects of your life. Having both personal and professional experience, I understand the unique complexities and struggles that often accompany these conditions. Choosing therapy is an act of self-care and bravery, and I commend you for taking this step towards positive change. Together, we can cultivate your inner strengths, enhance your self-awareness, and empower you to overcome challenges associated with anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and other mental health disorders. I am honored to have the opportunity to support you on your path towards mental wellness.

I specialize in helping clients learn to take control of their anxiety and lives by examining the impact of internal pressure (like unhealthy self-talk) and external triggers (like toxic relationships) and replacing what doesn't work with strategies to feel more empowered. I firmly believe that the way that we speak to ourselves impacts how we handle the pressures we face and let's be honest, we are often our own harshest critics. That is why I use a strengths-based approach to treatment to help clients get rid of hurtful self-talk and learn to embrace their own power!

There’s excitement around babies—the coos, cuddles, and moments. Yet, new parenthood can be overwhelming, leaving you with brain fog, body changes, and isolation.

Whether you’re trying to conceive, managing pregnancy struggles, adjusting to life after birth, or you just want to enjoy your successes, I offer a supportive space to navigate these changes and reconnect with yourself and loved ones.

Hi there! I'm Elizabeth and I am now accepting new clients for telehealth therapy in North Carolina! I am very excited about working with you. Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship or parenting issues? I have decades of experience working with adolescents and adults of all ages.

Don't be embarrassed because you are needing help. We all need help. Let me join you as you make changes in your life.

I work best with those who are looking to invest in themselves, who want to explore the difficult things in their life, and who will invest in doing the work it takes to see change occur. Those who want to look inward and see where they can be the change they want to see in situations. I enjoy working with those that have struggled with past trauma and are seeking to understand its effects on them now and actively make changes of personal growth. Personal Growth is believing that you are worthy of the time, effort, and support from someone needed to find or change yourself.

Life can be unpredictable with unbelievable challenges. As we experience these "life moments," it is challenging to seek help or know where to go. I offer an "eclectic" approach to treating clients through my training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectic Behavior Therapy. My number one priority is building a supportive therapeutic connection with my clients to help them feel comfortable as they work through difficult turning points in their lives.

My journey of helping individuals and families began as a child and family social worker. I worked closely with individuals and families to provide support and services to ensure all their needs were met and they had all the services available to help them thrive. I have worked as a trauma specific therapist, helping children who have had traumatic experiences learn to cope and manage their thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

My journey of helping individuals and families began as a hospice social worker. I worked closely with individuals and families to provide a "total care" approach while offering guidance through the emotional process of death. Now in private practice, I have worked with many cases and continue to use the "total care" approach with each client. I welcome all individuals and find incorporating your values/beliefs in therapy is supportive of the healing process. As I share with clients, we have to embrace our past, present and future to begin the healing process.
