Professional statement
Like the lotus flower, growth often comes through difficult terrain. With the right support, meaningful change is possible. Elizabeth is the founder of Lotus & Lion: Counseling and Wellness, where she supports individuals in moving from survival mode toward greater balance, clarity, and connection with themselves.
Elizabeth is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience. Her approach is holistic, collaborative, and grounded, integrating evidence-based psychotherapy with mind-body and lifestyle-informed care. She helps clients understand how past experiences connect to present-day challenges, while remaining focused on practical tools, coping skills, and forward movement.
Her work is informed by training in clinical psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, trauma-informed care, and meditation. Elizabeth provides telehealth counseling services and accepts most major insurance plans. She works best with clients seeking insight, balance, and sustainable change—not just short-term symptom relief.
