Hello and welcome! Thank you for your interest in working with me. I have been providing therapy to individuals, couples, and families since 2007. Educated at Antioch University, Los Angeles, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in a range of settings. My specialties include women's issues, specifically Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD/PMD), anxiety/panic attacks, depression, grief & loss, marital/relationship issues, trauma, divorce/separation, and more.
My approach is solution-focused where I focuses on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques with a client-centered approach considering cultural, social, and psychosocial influences. I believe you are the expert in your life and together we can work to improve your functioning using your strengths. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Elizabeth is very knowledgeable and has great resources for the situation Im going through! She is a great listener with out judgement. After my first session I was already starting to feel less anxious. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for therapist.
Elizabeth was a perfect choice for me. She's easy to talk to, she listens closely and recommends multiple exercises. She pays close attention, I feel, to what I say and the context in which I put it. She has recommended a good book, which has helped me, and ultimately what matters most is that I feel she does care about the person she's giving therapy to. I'm so glad to have Elizabeth to help me and guide me toward emotional healing.
