Hi, I’m Lizabeth

I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who supports women — pre-teens through elders — navigating anxiety, grief & loss, relationship issues, complex trauma, and life transitions. I especially enjoy working with thoughtful, creative, high-functioning women — often the ones others rely on — who are ready to stop carrying it all alone.

Many of the women I work with struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, or difficulty relaxing — patterns often rooted in relational or complex trauma, where the nervous system learned to stay vigilant or accommodating in order to feel safe or connected.

My work blends relational talk therapy with somatic therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches. I practice from a culturally affirming, social justice–oriented lens, honoring how identity, family systems, and lived experience shape the ways we cope and connect. When helpful, I incorporate EMDR in a paced, attachment-informed way. We build safety first because healing happens when the body feels supported, not just analyzed.

Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and human. There is room for depth and humor, because even in heavy work, moments of lightness can be regulating and connecting.
