Hi there, I'm Elizabeth!

My practice is centered on helping you learn what your feelings actually feel like in your body, so you can build a deeper sense of connection and belonging within yourself. I blend Brainspotting, Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems to help you move beyond just knowing your patterns, so you can finally start shifting them.

My focus

You already have a general awareness of your patterns but you struggle to actually make the changes you want. You likely carry heavy shame and limiting beliefs that keep you stuck. I'm here to help you get underneath those stories by listening to where they live in your body, so we can rewire them.

My approach

Imagine a space where we do more than talk but slow down and listen to what your body is telling you. I blend somatic therapy with talk therapy, alternating between felt-sense awareness and cognitive processing. We always let your nervous system set the pace; never pushing, always tuning in.
