More about Elizabeth
- 7 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with almost 10 years social work experience and about 7 years as a therapist. I have worked with a wide range of issues but primarily focus anxiety and anxiety related issues such as OCD and childhood trauma. I also work with individuals struggling with life changes, depression, loss and family issues. I work with substance use co occurring disorders, as well as individuals with chronic and severe mental health such as bipolar disorder. I am trained in Motivational Interviewing and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as telehealth certifications and anxiety specific training. I have extensive training in mindfulness including MBSR. I have worked with first responders, including individuals in the military and with criminal justice history.
My counseling style is relaxed and engaging. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am client centered and strengths based. I believe that everyone deserves a life filled with peace, contentment, and purpose, and my approach focuses on helping individuals navigate challenges while building resilience.
Through compassionate, ethical, and client-centered care, I offer the tools and guidance needed to manage stress, overcome obstacles, and create lasting positive change. Whether facing life transitions, anxiety, depression, or other personal struggles, I am here to support each individual on their unique journey toward well-being.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I have so many new tools that I can use from my sessions with Beth. She makes me feel incredibly cared for and heard. It's been truly wonderful working with her.
Beth has been so great at listening and making our session feel open and comfortable.
Beth helped me with a variety of techniques and suggestions. She provided worksheets where applicable and provided great feedback. By offering a new perspective and outlook, she helped me to navigate a particularly difficult time. I feel like I have the tools to proceed and figure out the next steps in my mental wellness journey.
I'm not sure where I would be without Beth's help. I'm not saying she saved my life, but I feel like she's a life saver. Thanks for this awesum method for my therapy. Jeff

Beth is a great counselor and extremely caring. She understands my struggles and brings a lot of knowledge and insight. She’s super smart but also down to Earth. I highly recommend her approach to anyone struggling with past childhood trauma as an adult.
