About Eliza

She focuses on straightforward, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting challenges.

She works with people on a wide range of concerns including compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating and anger problems, and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Career pressures, ADHD, and relationship struggles are also common topics in her work. Eliza pays attention to family dynamics and issues that arise from blended families, divorce, caregiving stress, and immigration-related strain. In sessions she adapts her approach to each person’s needs.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, and solution-focused strategies to help people clarify goals and try practical steps. Conversations are collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the client. Clients can expect clear goal-setting, focused skill practice, and regular check-ins on progress.
Eliza aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking problems into small, workable tasks. She balances problem-solving with attention to feelings and personal values. Her long experience shapes a steady, patient approach.
People who want direct help with day-to-day stressors, parenting struggles, or persistent anxiety may find her practical style useful. She supports each person in finding realistic ways to move forward.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Eliza commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take actions that align with those values even when feelings are hard to sit with. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change behavior and mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. That discussion guides which strategies are prioritized and how sessions are structured, so the plan fits the client's life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, and ongoing coaching-style support. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity when life is unpredictable.
