Hi, I’m Elizabeth.

Do you ever feel like your stress is a radio dial that can be turned up or down but never completely off? If your answer is yes, then you’ve come to the right place.

I am a licensed therapist in Columbus, OH and I use a tailored blend of therapeutic modalities to help you navigate life’s obstacles in a more adaptive way.

Together, we’ll create a plan to help you heal at your own pace — with curiosity, honesty, and a touch of humor when it fits. My goal is to help you cultivate a sense of safety and calm from within, so you can live more fully and authentically.

I currently work with individuals 14+ that are looking to address the following issues:

  • Chronic Stress and Burnout

  • Concussion & Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

  • ADHD & Concentration

  • Sports-related challenges

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Substance Misuse

  • Trauma and PTSD

  • Mood Disorders

My approach is holistic, meaning…

While the framework of my practice is built on traditional psychotherapy, I believe the body is the gateway to wisdom of experiences that we aren’t able to always access through the mind. I incorporate concepts from Hakomi, somatic therapies, meditation, mindfulness, psychology, neuroscience and yoga for an integrative approach to healing.

  • Our mind shapes the way we see ourselves and the world around us. In therapy, we’ll explore thoughts, beliefs, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck or disconnected from the best version of you. Healing the mind allows space for new perspectives and lasting change.

  • The body carries our experiences — both joyful and painful. It holds tension, memories, and emotions that words alone can’t always express. Through somatic awareness and gentle connection to your physical self, therapy helps you tune in to what your body is communicating. This process supports regulation of the nervous system, releases stored stress, and restores a sense of safety and presence in your own skin.

  • The soul represents your deepest sense of meaning, purpose, and connection. It’s what makes you you. Nurturing the soul in therapy means tending to the parts of you that seek wholeness, authenticity, and peace. This work invites you to reconnect with your inner wisdom to more fully aligned with Self.
