About
Elizabeth

Welcome/Bienvenido/Benvenuto. I am so happy you have taken the first step to explore treatment options to help “” feel better. I am looking forward to meeting with you and giving you the support, you need on your journey towards healing. I was born and raised in New York but consider myself a student of life. I have even traveled to different countries (Germany, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Switzerland and Turkey) to train in different modalities and disciplines so I may have a plethora of evidence-based interventions to provide to you.

My focus and mission are to help you heal! We collaborate together as you become aware of your emotional strengths, resources and we will identify solutions that can work for your life. We achieve this by creating a safe, neutral space where you are seen and heard, as you develop new skills and strategies to make progress towards goals.

I achieved my M.A. and an Ed.M. in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University. I have over ten years of experience working with clients and although I treat a variety of issues, my specialties include: anxiety; bereavement and grief; cancer & other chronic illnesses; life transitions; mood disorders; sexual violence; traumas; post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); and spirituality. I also invite conversations about inequalities (e.g., racism, sexism, homophobia) and I encourage clients to explore their concerns.

Do you want to change your life and stop old patterns of behavior? When you talk to yourself, are you sometimes less than kind? Let’s activate your inner guide to help with other life challenges and/or gain insight into past trauma so you can heal the pain and trust again. Let’s travel together on this journey and help you live your best life!
