Elizabeth is a counselor who is passionate about learning from and working with people of all ages and walks of life. Though she is most passionate about working with children, older adults, and those experiencing grief. She enjoys journeying with people of all ages to collaboratively explore clients' experiences and the meaning they’ve made out of them.

Increasingly fascinated by people and her conversations with them, a few years after high school graduation and working as a cosmetologist by day and a bartender/server by night, she decided on a whim to pursue an online degree in psychology. Three years later, she graduated from Liberty University Online with a BS in Psychology and a few months after that she relocated and began a graduate program in counseling at Cairn University. She then graduated with a MS in Counseling from Cairn University, where she learned much more than textbooks and papers alone could ever teach her about God, life, suffering, growth, and resilience. 

Understanding that each individual is unique, she utilizes an eclectic approach to counseling. While always learning more, her training is heavily informed by attachment theory and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

Favorite Quotes:

"What is REAL?” asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. “Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?” “Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.” “Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit. “Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. “When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.” “Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, “or bit by bit?” “It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”― Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit
