ABOUT ELIZABETH

Therapy, minus the therapist-couch cliches

Hey there

I’m Elizabeth, a down-to-earth LCSW offering virtual therapy for adults in New York, South Carolina, and Florida. If you’re a high-functioning professional who mostly has it together but feels stuck in a few key places, dating, boundaries, people-pleasing, stress, or substance use, you’re in the right place.

My style is curious, laid-back and humorous when it helps. We’ll get clear on what’s not working, build practical strategies, and help you feel more like yourself.

My approach

I keep therapy conversational and integrative, meeting you where you are while blending evidence-based practices when it’s helpful. I’m direct when needed, always compassionate, and I bring humor into the room when it helps us breathe.

My story

I started my practice on the side while working full time as a therapist in the community, supporting veterans navigating trauma, substance use, and mental health. That work shaped almost everything about how I show up in a session.

Nothing rattles me, and I've learned that real change happens through honesty, not performance.

I left that job to focus on my passion for helping young adult professionals become the best version of themselves. Not in a toxic productivity, wake up at 5 a.m. and optimize your smoothie way, but in a real, grounded, self-aware way.

Outside of sessions

You’ll find me here when I’m not on a call.
