About Mary Elizabeth
License #: LPC013880Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is therapy. I blend practical, evidence-based tools with somatic awareness, breathwork, and mindfulness to meet you where you are—body, mind, and heart. My approach is holistic, curious, and compassionate: together, we’ll uncover patterns, release what’s weighing you down, and strengthen your inner resilience. I specialize in PTSD and trauma, ADHD, eating disorders and body image concerns, perfectionism, narcissistic abuse recovery, and navigating life transitions like divorce and co-parenting. Whether you need strategies for day-to-day stress or a deeper exploration of long-held emotional patterns, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where your story is fully seen and honored. Beyond therapy, I’m someone who values humor, curiosity, and the small moments of joy that remind us of who we truly are. Expect warmth, honesty, and a touch of lightness, even when the work is deep. My goal is to help you reconnect with your authentic self—and feel at home in your own skin.
My Therapeutic Approach
I see therapy as a place where your story is honored, you are heard, and your mind finds clarity. I integrate evidence-based practices like CBT and DBT with somatic awareness, breathwork, and mindfulness so you can access insight and relief at the same time. Change isn’t just about thinking differently—it’s about feeling differently, too. Many of our patterns live in the body long before we notice them in our thoughts. By tuning into both, we can release what’s holding you back, rebuild trust in yourself, and discover practical tools for navigating life with more ease, presence, and confidence. I hold space for the real and the raw: grief, trauma, perfectionism, life transitions, and the subtle erosion of self that comes from living with others’ expectations. Therapy here isn’t about fitting a mold—it’s about helping you reconnect to your authentic self and live more fully, with compassion, curiosity, and sometimes a little laughter along the way.
Who I Help Best
I work with people who are ready to be seen and heard—those who have been carrying too much alone, navigating trauma, perfectionism, or the ripple effects of difficult relationships. My clients often want more than just coping skills; they want to reconnect with themselves, feel grounded in their bodies, and move through life with clarity and confidence. I specialize in supporting those recovering from narcissistic abuse, managing PTSD or trauma, navigating divorce or co-parenting, addressing eating and body image concerns, and living with ADHD or perfectionistic tendencies. If you’re seeking a compassionate, practical, and holistic approach—where your mind, body, and heart are all part of the work—you’ll feel at home here.
What a First Session Is Like
Your first session is a space to pause, be fully seen, and begin mapping your path forward. We’ll explore what’s weighing on you, uncover patterns that may be holding you back, and start identifying practical and somatic ways to feel more grounded and in control. It’s thoughtful, intentional, and completely tailored—so you leave not just understood, but with a sense of clarity, possibility, and momentum.
