My name is Elizabeth and I have worked in the field of counseling & education for over 15 years as a teacher, school counselor, college counselor, and private practice clinician.  I work with clients using a person-centered approach, and CBT, DBT, & EMDR strategies to help them recognize their strengths and abilities to overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, navigate life transitions, and improve relationships.  In addition to therapy, I also provide supervision services, teach as an adjunct instructor, and am a mental health consultant to Head Start. 

 

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults as they navigate critical life transitions. My doctoral dissertation focused on the role of the school in cultivating a climate conducive to successful social-emotional, personal, and academic transitions for middle school students.  I also advocate for the role of counselors as mental health professionals in public education and speak on related subjects.
