Welcome! ¡Bienvenido!
Elizabeth believes that meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. Through authenticity, empathy, humor and a collaborative approach, she works to build trust and connection from the very beginning. She helps clients feel comfortable exploring difficult emotions, life experiences, and personal goals at their own pace.
As a bilingual therapist, Elizabeth provides services in both English and Spanish to children, adolescents, and adults. This allows her to connect with clients in the language that feels most natural and comfortable to them. She particularly enjoys working with individuals navigating ADHD, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. She is also passionate about supporting first-generation individuals as they navigate the unique challenges of balancing cultural expectations, family dynamics, identity, and personal growth.
Her approach is client-centered, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy. Her approach is tailored to each client's unique needs, blending clinical expertise with creativity and genuine human connection.
Elizabeth ofrece sus servicios tanto en inglés como en español a niños, adolescentes y adultos. Esto le permite conectar con sus clientes en el idioma que les resulte más natural y cómodo. Le gusta especialmente trabajar con personas que se enfrentan al TDAH, la ansiedad, problemas de autoestima y transiciones vitales. También le apasiona apoyar a las personas de primera generación a la hora de afrontar los retos únicos que supone conciliar las expectativas culturales, la dinámica familiar, la identidad y el crecimiento personal.
Su enfoque está centrado en el cliente, es sensible a las diferencias culturales y se basa en prácticas con base científica, como la terapia cognitivo-conductual (TCC), la atención plena y la terapia centrada en soluciones. Su enfoque se adapta a las necesidades únicas de cada cliente, combinando la experiencia clínica con la creatividad y una conexión humana genuina.
In her free time, Elizabeth enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She enjoys attending concerts, thrifting, watching her favorite shows, traveling, and trying new coffee spots!
