Hi! I’m Elizabeth, and I’m passionate about helping others recognize the powerful impact mental health has on our happiness, fulfillment, and overall well-being. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can grow, heal, and thrive.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 8 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals enhance their mental well-being, build stronger relationships, and rediscover purpose. Using a personalized, client-centered approach, I've worked across various treatment settings providing crisis stabilization, short-term, and long-term care in intensive psychosocial rehabilitation, outpatient clinics, and residential facilities. I've supported adults with severe and persistent mental illness, including forensic backgrounds, as well as adolescents, adults, and couples addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, communication issues, and life transitions.
My approach is rooted in strengths-based and compassion-focused care. I believe in tailoring each therapeutic experience to honor your unique identity, values, and goals. My clinical framework integrates evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, positive psychology, and creative therapeutic techniques to support your journey toward healing and growth.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change. Whether you're navigating life stressors or working toward long-term healing, I'm here to guide you on your path to wellness and a more empowered life.

From personal and professional experience, I have found that the more transparent and truthful you are to yourself, the easier it is to work through issues and find peace.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. My passion lies in helping people identify barriers to personal growth, improve emotional balance, and enhance their overall well-being. I specialize in working with adults and couples navigating issues such as anxiety, depression, codependency, life transitions, and communication difficulties in relationships.
I earned a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and focused on teaching practical tools that clients can apply in their daily lives. I believe in open, honest communication and often provide exercises between sessions to reinforce the skills we explore together.
Our first session will be a welcoming introduction where I get to know you, your background, and your goals. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can freely express yourself. Together, we’ll work toward identifying what’s standing in your way and build a path toward stability, success, and a more fulfilling life, one step at a time.

My life has included walks through seasons of struggle, growth, and self-discovery. I approach therapy with deep empathy and a belief that healing begins when we feel safe enough to reclaim our voice and reconnect with who we truly are.
I am a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern with 5 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I support clients navigating grief, anxiety, depression, addictions, life transitions, and complex trauma.

As a new mom coming from a unique family, I have a fresh perspective when working with families, couples, children, and individuals.
I am a registered mental health counselor intern (RMHCI) with 2 years of experience supporting clients through life’s challenges. I work with individuals, couples, and families across multiple generations. My work often focuses on navigating relational conflict, life transitions, grief, stress, and emotional difficulties. I provide a warm and collaborative space where we can explore your concerns, consider new perspectives, and build solutions together.
I earned my master’s in professional counseling from Texas State University, where I studied family systems and conflict resolution. My approach is eclectic and tailored to your needs, drawing from person-centered, solution-focused, and family-systems work. I also have training in financial wellness and welcome conversations about money-related stress.

I will offer a supportive, compassionate space where you can share openly, gain clarity, and move toward meaningful change. We will work together to understand your goals and create a path toward healing and growth at your own pace.

With 25 years of experience working with children, couples, and individuals who have experienced trauma, I understand how this impacts them and their family members.
I am a licensed mental health counselor (MH 5517) with over 30 years of experience. At age 40, I recognized my true calling in life. With three children at home, and working full-time with retail, I returned back to school to obtain my Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University in 1996. Three years later, I received my licensure. I have worked with several programs affiliated with the Florida Department of Children & Families and with the children who experienced abuse and/or neglect. With this experience I was able to understand the impact of trauma on my clients.
I have taught classes in MAPP (Model Approach to Partnership in Parenting), ACT (Adoption Competency Training) & in PIP (Partnership In Parenting). I've taught classes associated with the Human Rights Campaign regarding LGBTQ issues. Working with couples & families, I help to reinforce attachments, helping family members with anxiety, depression or anger.
While supporting my clients, I work to create & maintain a compassionate, loving and supportive home environment. Using a blend of both cognitive-behavioral therapy & mindfulness, I am able to create a safe space where my clients are able to recognize their behaviors. I hope I can help you navigate your own life’s challenges to gain clarity and purpose.

My go-to approach is to establish the history of the relationship and seek to improve areas of concern while addressing any underlying issues of poor communication and boundaries.
I prefer to focus on communication skills and conflict resolution, but I personalize my treatment plan to the needs of the couple.
I see progress when couples are able to disagree and focus on finding solutions rather than on being right.
Couples can focus on their partner's needs and communicate their own needs, making sure to discuss resolutions and not blame the other partner.
Before attending the first session, know what issues you wish to address and be willing to work on them together.
Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
