You Might Be in the Right Place If…
You've done therapy before, maybe a lot of it, and still feel like something deeper remains unresolved
You appear to be functioning well on the outside while feeling quietly depleted or disconnected within
You notice your nervous system frequently shifting into overdrive, shutdown, or overwhelm
You find yourself repeating patterns in relationships that you can understand but can't seem to change
You feel overwhelmed by anxiety, chronic stress, or emotional exhaustion that won't fully lift
You are navigating grief, loss, trauma, or a major life transition
You're looking for therapy that works with your body and nervous system, not just your thoughts
Healing often needs more than one door in. Talking about what happened is part of it- but so is what your body is holding, what your nervous system learned, and the patterns that formed long before you had words for them.
That's the kind of work I do.
I'm Elizabeth, a Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR-trained therapist, Gottman Method-trained couples counselor, and Registered Yoga Teacher based in Lakewood, Ohio.
My approach is genuinely integrative. I draw on EMDR, IFS-informed therapy, ACT, somatic and body-based awareness, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and yogic philosophy-not as a menu of techniques, but woven together into a way of working that's responsive to you, your history, and the pace of your nervous system.
I work with adult women navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, and life transitions, and with couples who are stuck in cycles they can't break on their own. My practice is private pay, which means our work is guided entirely by your healing, not by insurance requirements or diagnostic categories.
Starting therapy, or trying again after something that didn't fully work, takes courage. You don't have to have it figured out before you reach out. A free consultation is simply a conversation to see if we might be a good fit.
I offer individual and couples counseling sessions.
