Elizabeth’s therapy style is rooted in the application of her expertise to help clients reach their goals. I met Elizabeth as a therapist first and at the beginning of a worldwide fallout, the pandemic.
I knew instantly in the first interview that she would make a great leadership partner and excellent clinician. Little did I know exactly how true this was with the coming hard times. Not only did I get to know her as a leader and clinician, but also a friend. I have had the privilege of seeing Elizabeth’s therapy work firsthand and of doing clinical work with her. She has a deep caring for clients and holds nonjudgmental, validating space for clients to work on their goals.
Early on in working with Elizabeth, I learned about two qualities that I value most as a friend and a clinician, her transparency and honesty.
So many of Elizabeth’s wonderful qualities can be highlighted in a single memory of our time spent together during a snowstorm at our last job. Being in leadership sometimes calls for you to go above and beyond. A huge storm was rolling in, and Elizabeth and I decided it would be best for clients and staffing needs to spend the night at our job. She brought fun and level-headedness to the equation as we played games with clients, prepared food, and ran programming. She is a team player, excellent therapist and all-around wonderful person. I can’t imagine having a better therapist in our practice.
