She received her Bachelors of Arts in Psychology at Michigan State University and her Masters in Social Work at The University of Michigan.

Prior to opening her private practice, she founded Nurture{Bklyn}- a community space for pregnant/parenting people- in Brooklyn, NY.
Elizabeth specializes in the treatment of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, PTSD (chronic/complex), and substance abuse. Elizabeth has completed postgraduate training in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Level 1&2 and at The Ackerman Institute for the Family. To support clients on their healing journey, Elizabeth uses an eclectic mix of approaches (internal family systems, mind/body centering (DBT), narrative therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy). Elizabeth’s passion for helping others find wholeness comes from her own experiences of intergenerational trauma and the family disease of substance abuse. Elizabeth is also a retired birth/postpartum doula and since 2004 she has supported over 200 families on their fertility journey, pregnancy and birth, and the postpartum period.
