"Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed. I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will UPHOLD you with my victorious right hand." -Isaiah 41:10
Welcome! I’m Elizabeth. I love being a mental health counselor because sharing people’s journies is a sacred privledge. Clients appreciate my genuiness, humor, and ability to be frank and challenge you while maintaining empathy, compassion and non-judgement.
My unique approach often focuses on a combination of mindfulness, coupled with the theology of suffering, to help people achieve freedom, even in things they cannot change.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, helping process grief, healing from past trauma and abuse, and navigating life transitions, but I have experience with a variety of diagnoses and problems including Borderling Personality Disorder, agorophobia, difficult relationships, childhood sexual abuse, and lack of motivation, direction, or purpose. I also offer couples’ sessions where we focus on increasing communication skills and healing broken relationships.
Clients want to be heard, validated and empowered to make decisions on their own. Through a collaborative effort, we will establish goals and work towards achieving them. If you’re feeling stagnant, experiencing troubling symptoms, or just struggling to find your passion, purpose and meaning in life, I invite you to sign up for a free consultation today. You can also email me at elizabeth@upholdtherapyservices.com.
