As a trauma-focused, somatic-oriented, and relationally-centered psychotherapist, Elizabeth believes in the process of healing connection. For this, she seeks to create trusting and allowing spaces for clients to really open up and be with their tough stuff in a safe and healing environment. Elizabeth offers caring, attuned support, clinical dexterity and a range of professional expertise vital for shifting patterns of stuckness and pursuing new horizons of healing. It is her hope to come alongside clients as they journey from loneliness to connectedness; from fear and numbness to peace and presence; from a sense of deficiency to the experience of wholeness; from an inner void to a felt sense of embodiment; from the loss of essence to regaining essential qualities such as love, joy, strength, courage, and confidence.

Elizabeth has trained in a variety of research-informed therapeutic modalities including Lifespan Integration Therapy, Observed and Experiential Integration Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Existential Analysis, a phenomenological, person-centred approach to psychotherapy developed by Alfried Längle. Elizabeth has received supervision in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. She is also both interested and adept in the use of expressive arts for therapeutic purposes. She believes that incorporating creative modalities can be a part of helping clients to tell their stories well, process through their pain, identify obstacles to a good, fulfilled life, and move towards a sense of hope, healing, empowerment and strength.
