About Elizabeth

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with over 31 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating addiction, chronic pain, trauma, ADHD, and complex life stressors. My clinical background spans private practice, outpatient substance abuse treatment, educational settings, and court-involved services, allowing me to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care tailored to each client’s needs.

I earned my master’s degree in counseling from Fordham University and hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Mercy College. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered counseling, and shame-informed care. I am certified in dialectical behavior therapy and ADHD clinical services.

I strive to create a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard and empowered. Together, we will work toward meaningful goals, build resilience, and develop practical tools to support long-term growth and well-being. I welcome the opportunity to partner with you on your path forward.

"“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” –Aristotle"

What types of clients do you work best with?

Adults

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

The first session is the intake, but during that time we will discuss needs and goals - and during that time we can begin to see where someone wants to travel with those goals in mind.

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?

Experience working with co-occurring disorder inpatient/outpatient settings.

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?

Meeting them where they are at.
