Pediatric, adult and elderly concerns such as suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addiction, emotional disturbances, trauma, bipolar disorder, behavioral issues, sleep problems, troubled thought patterns, difficult life transitions, and attention issues are areas that she has a depth of experience in. Individualized, holistic care that meets the patient where they are and gets them to where they want to be are fundamental to Elizabeth’s philosophy.

In her personal time, Elizabeth is devoted to her 5 core values: Faith, Family, Fitness, Finances and Fun. She can be found hanging with her family, practicing her spirituality, incorporating physical movement, budgeting to spend, save, give, and investing in deep, meaningful fun with authentic friendships throughout her community.
