As an LCSW with ten years providing individual trauma treatment across all ages, I have the experience necessary to help you meet your goals. As a bilingual and bicultural Spanish speaking clinician, I ensure treatment is culturally competent and in the language in which you feel most comfortable. I have an interest in cultural responsiveness of evidence based treatments and have been trained in CBT, DBT, IPT, Meaning Centered Psychotherapy, and Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. My background includes child welfare, foster care, residential treatment, aftercare, and behavioral health. I understand that people come to therapy carrying stress, grief, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, and life changes. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood.
Hello there! I'm Elizabeth - a licensed, trauma certified psychospiritual therapist and Reiki practitioner. I work with women and femme adults recovering from religious trauma, constructing spiritual identity, grappling with a late diagnosis of ADHD, navigating a career change, or dealing with anxiety in their relationships.
If you’ve been feeling anxious, down, overwhelmed by stress, or stuck in a hard transition, you’re not alone. I work with people 16 and up who want support around anxiety, depression, life stressors, and eating disorders. My goal is to help you feel understood while we work toward steady, meaningful change together.
When emotional challenges begin affecting your relationships, confidence, or daily life, it can be difficult to know where to start. You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, or the impact of difficult experiences. For children and adolescents, these struggles may show up through behavioral changes, emotional outbursts, school difficulties, or challenges connecting with others. Therapy offers a supportive space to better understand what is happening beneath the surface and begin creating meaningful change.
As a licensed therapist with over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, family dynamics, grief, and significant life transitions. I have worked with a vast population: healthcare, residential, mental health and the unhoused.
“Only those who sow seeds of change can hope to grow and reap a harvest.”

I am a licensed clinical social worker, with extensive experience working with families. I have a Master of Social Work from Loyola University in Chicago. I specialize in trauma treatment and helping adults adjust in different periods of their lives including raising young children, middle age transition including empty nesters. I also am bilingual and bicultural, and I love talking about Mexico, and its rich culture and history.
Sometimes talking about the past isn't enough—you want to stop feeling like it's still affecting your present.
Whether you're carrying the weight of a traumatic experience, feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or struggling with anxiety, overwhelming emotions, or painful memories, healing is possible.
I'm Caroline, a therapist who works exclusively with adults (18+) and has a special passion for helping clients heal from trauma using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. With a decade of clinical experience, I believe that while our past experiences shape us, they don't have to define our future. My goal is to create a supportive, compassionate space where you can process difficult experiences, build resilience, and move forward with greater confidence and peace.
