Elizabeth holds her Master’s Degree in Social Work and is currently pursuing licensure as a Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern (#ISW20919) through continued education and supervision. She recently earned her Certified Trauma and Resilience Specialist Certification (CTRS-C) as she continues to build her practice.
Elizabeth has an extensive background working with children and adolescents struggling with attention deficits, anxiety, behavioral issues, learning disabilities, obsessive tendencies, oppositional symptoms, and social challenges (including diagnoses of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and sensory processing disorders). She utilizes a strengths-based, behavioral approach to empower her clients to develop life-changing skills built upon the foundation of feelings identification and expression. She approaches every case with the goal of improving each client’s quality of life as much as possible through age-appropriate psychoeducation and customized treatment methods, including providing targeted parent support and Behavioral Parent Training to alleviate stressors on the family unit as a whole.
Elizabeth cares deeply for her clients and prides herself on her history of easily building rapport with children, parents, and other professionals alike. She constantly looks at the big picture and is enthusiastic about collaborative approaches to care. When deemed clinically appropriate, Elizabeth can be available for observations and treatment services in settings such as school and home.
Here at AIM, Elizabeth has assisted in expanding the Pediatric Behavior Services division and, along with providing specialized services, plays an integral part working closely with Master’s Level Student Interns at the practice who have the same passion to meet their professional goals working with this unique population.
In addition to Elizabeth’s experience working with children and adolescents, she is well equipped to work with adult clients navigating life adjustment challenges, depression and anxiety.
