More about Elizabeth

  • 25 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist and I have been providing psychotherapy for the last 20 years. I received my bachelor degree in Liberal Studies at Chapman University in 1996 and became a bilingual peer counselor at a counseling center for victims of Domestic Violence. Then in 2003 I acquired my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology at National University . My experience includes individual therapy, group therapy and family therapy in various settings. I have worked with all ages and I have a lot of experience helping clients with different types of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges and many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

I utilize many different types of models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused and Motivational Interviewing to name a few; however, regardless of what approach I use I am always warm, empathetic, collaborative and encouraging.It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
