Background and approach

She helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related struggles, and major life transitions. She also supports clients facing attachment issues, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and family of origin challenges. Her approach draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and shift the emotional patterns that keep them stuck.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to clarify how past bonds shape present relationships. Practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy are used when helpful to manage emotions and change unhelpful thoughts. Sessions focus on clear communication and realistic steps.

Elizabeth helps clients work on commitment and communication problems, codependency and control issues, as well as coping with chronic illness and caregiver stress. She encourages small, doable changes that build over time. People who want a supportive, compassionate therapist who listens and offers practical tools may find her approach helpful.

Elizabeth supports each person’s pace and priorities while working toward clearer connections and more stable emotions.

Online support

How emotion-focused methods work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotional patterns that shape interactions and inner distress. It supports shifting those patterns by working with feelings in the moment and creating new ways to respond in relationships.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and reactions. It helps people understand why they feel certain ways and how to form more stable connections with others.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive stance where the therapist listens closely and follows each person’s priorities. This approach helps people feel understood and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose and adapt methods based on needs, goals, and personal comfort. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and shifting course when something doesn’t fit.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and styles. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier with limited bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or health challenges.
