Combining compassion with therapeutic expertise, Elisabeth helps clients navigate challenges and move forward with clarity and hope.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Elisabeth offers individual, couples, and group therapy, tailoring each approach to meet the unique needs of her clients. Depending on your goals and circumstances, she may recommend a multi-faceted approach that combines different forms of support. She also collaborates closely with other therapists, nonprofits, and community organizations to help clients access a broader network of care beyond the clinical setting.

Creating a safe, supportive space is central to Elisabeth’s work. Together, you will develop a personalized therapeutic approach that can evolve over time as your needs shift. Drawing from modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Elisabeth helps clients process grief, navigate stress and relationship challenges, build healthier coping tools, and better understand the patterns shaping their lives. Her goal is to help clients move toward greater healing, balance, connection, and empowerment.

Individual Counseling

When your next steps feel out of focus, your relationship to yourself or others seems “off” or you know you need to step back to explore what your personal goals are, we are here to help.

Through psychodynamic, attachment, and strengths based modalities, we explore a wide variety of tools and techniques to help you find strength, hope and empowerment.

Grief and Loss Counseling

As you face your grief and explore what comes next in a story that looks far different from the one you dreamed, we will help make space for the entire narrative. We will give you tools for the experience you are in and help you explore how to grow and move forward despite the pain. We believe there is no therapeutic approach or protocol to follow in grief counseling because the symptoms experienced are normal and appropriate symptoms for an experience of profound loss.

Rather, we explore, together, how to make space for the wide variety of feelings that emerge, how to validate the experience, and how to find hope and peace while also grieving. We make space for the BOTH/AND. Grief is a very individualized experience. No two people grieve alike, nor should we encourage them to. It is our goal to help people discover what they need in order to share their pain, acknowledge and respect their loss, and to find peace in the midst of the grief and heartache.

Infertility Counseling

When the one thing you are working hardest at, the one thing you dream of most, feels beyond your reach, we listen and offer concrete tools for how to manage challenging circumstances while making space for the reality that no two people experience infertility in the same way. Your story is your own and we will provide a place for you to share, grieve, manage the impact on relationships, find hope and explore what comes next.

Our therapeutic perspective in this work is largely based on our own protocols which we have developed over the past 20 years of working with families going through infertility. We teach and train practitioners and providers in this work as well. We believe that the pain and loss is unique to each individual and couple and can also be misunderstood and sometimes hidden by our culture. Grieving even as you work to support and/or grow the family you have creates a unique set of challenges. Finding a safe space to share this experience is a critical part of moving forward in a healthy way.

Couples Counseling

Relationships are challenging because life is challenging. We may be equipped with wonderful communication tools and excellent experience working with partners or we may come to a partnership with a history of heartache and difficulty trusting.

Whatever your relational circumstance may be, our goal is to provide a place where you can explore what you are experiencing, define what you need, share your experience in healthy ways and create a path forward that feels hopeful. Our therapeutic lens is the evidence based approach known as Emotionally Focused Therapy which draws on attachment theory and works to facilitate healthy, secure connection with others.

Trauma Counseling

When we experience distressing events that impact our sense of safety in the world, we need tools to understand our physical and emotional responses and to bring ourselves back into alignment and balance.

Creating a safe space to process what you have experienced while also helping clients find their inner strengths and resources – as well as those around them – our goal is to help individuals thrive, using protocols developed by the Trauma Resource Institute and years working with a wide variety of clients who have experienced severe trauma.
