VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Eliza!

I help individuals overcome life's toughest challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance abuse. Trauma and loss dysregulate the body beneath psychological symptoms, yet each person's journey is unique. I offer a compassionate, blended approach to healing that addresses mind, heart, and body.

My focus

I specialize in complex trauma and work with adults experiencing addiction and relational struggles—especially those who endured dysfunctional, emotionally unavailable, or abusive relationships. We'll process difficult memories and emotions that still impact you today, helping you find relief and rebuild self-worth.

My approach

My therapeutic style is eclectic, blending techniques to meet your individual needs. We'll address the body directly with metaphor and imagery, draw from psychodynamic therapy to identify patterns, and use CBT, IFS, and Positive Psychology to enhance well-being. This combination creates an internal landing pad for well-being.
