About
Elizabeth is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who earned her Master's Degree at Fairfield University. Working together with adults, adolescents and children, she finds adaptive solutions to personal challenges. She believes that psychotherapy can transform the quality of a person’s life. Elizabeth creates a supportive environment where individuals and families are free to examine unhealthy patterns of behavior, set goals, and move toward desired change.
Elizabeth specializes in the therapeutic mentoring of adolescent and teen girls. The life of a teen girl is complex as they can face issues of:
Self-worth
Peer pressure
Bullying
Academic related issues
Sexual orientation
Social media overload
These stressors can cause anxiety, depression and emotional imbalance which affects the family as a whole. Elizabeth believes however that the teen years can also be a time of positive growth for both parents and children. She believes that successfully navigating these years sets the foundation for a thriving adult.
