My Story
Elizabeth's path to becoming a therapist began through her work in Dance Movement Therapy, where she supported individuals living with Dementia, Parkinson's disease, and other physical disabilities. While movement played an important role in these sessions, Elizabeth quickly realized that the true catalyst for change was the meaningful connection she built with her clients. Through feeling heard, understood, and supported, they began to open up and share their experiences. Witnessing the power of this therapeutic relationship inspired Elizabeth to pursue counselling psychology so she could more directly support people in creating meaningful change in their lives.
Elizabeth draws from a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, with a particular focus on trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and somatic therapy. With a background in Psychology and Kinesiology, she has a special interest in the connection between the mind and body, recognizing that emotional experiences often influence both our mental and physical well-being.
By combining talk therapy, somatic techniques, emotional regulation skills, and mindfulness practices, Elizabeth helps clients process trauma, better understand themselves, strengthen coping strategies, and move toward lasting change. Whether the goal is reducing emotional distress, improving self-awareness, or navigating life's challenges, her focus is on helping clients build a more balanced and fulfilling life.
