Meet Elizabeth

I am a Professional Counselor,  licensed in Washington, DC, Virginia, Maryland and New Jersey.  I have found that psychotherapy can help us to better manage our feelings/reactions and build healthier relationships.  I am trained and certified in trauma focused therapies such as Brainspotting. Trauma focused therapy helps tackle the root of a concern, bringing relief to difficult emotions.

I have worked as a psychotherapist in various settings. Currently I am in private practice and specialize in evaluations for clients in the process of immigration (such as asylum or hardship). I work part time at Neighbors Consejo, providing bilingual counseling (English/Spanish) to the community of Washington ,DC. At various non- profits I gave therapy to immigrant survivors of violent crimes and abuse.  I was a therapist at an Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program, Domestic Violence Center, charter school and other outpatient clinics.  I specialize in working from a community based perspective with adults, adolescents, and couples, helping them attain balance, fulfilling relationships, and greater understanding. I graduated from Lasalle University with two degrees of BA in Psychology and MA in Clinical Counseling, working in the area of counseling for over 17 years.   I have taken courses related to detailed assessment services.

I have personally found that through working with a counselor or coach, in combination with other mind/body healing modalities, I am best able to take care of myself. This leads to increased confidence, balance, and vitality.
