Therapist. Consultant. Educator. Changemaker.

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth is a psychotherapist, consultant, speaker, and founder of The Shift Shop—a space where healing meets strategy, and personal growth powers professional transformation. With over two decades of clinical experience and more than 10 years as a consultant, she supports women, entrepreneurs, and mission-driven organizations through change that’s not km only effective—but embodied, sustainable, and values-aligned.

As a therapist, Elizabeth brings a deep, somatic approach to her work. With a background in Dance/Movement Therapy and early childhood mental health, she has worked across the full spectrum of mental health care—from schools and treatment centers to hospitals and community organizations. She specializes in women's mental health, perinatal mental health, life transitions, and complex trauma, drawing on neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and Brainspotting to support deep, lasting change. Her work is rooted in the belief that healing happens through the body as much as the mind, and that emotional wellness is foundational to everything we build in life—including our businesses.

That belief is what shaped her evolution into consulting and coaching.

Elizabeth’s work as a therapist became the lab for her consulting: witnessing firsthand how the entrepreneurial journey is also a deeply personal one. She saw how unhealed patterns, burnout, perfectionism, and dysregulation show up in leadership, team dynamics, and business models. Today, as a consultant, she partners with entrepreneurs and organizations to co-create regenerative business designs—ones that are grounded in nervous system literacy, neuroscience, and sustainable growth.

She approaches entrepreneurship through a flourishing feminist lens—one that challenges traditional hustle culture and reclaims business as a space for wholeness, equity, and care. Her work centers on redefining success beyond productivity, naming and honoring the invisible labor women carry, and helping clients build businesses that protect their energy, restore their time, and reinforce their boundaries. It’s not just about scaling—it’s about sovereignty.

Whether guiding a founder through the early stages of their vision, helping a team build a trauma-informed workplace, or mentoring therapists who are ready to lead, Elizabeth blends intuitive clarity with practical strategy. Her approach is part mentorship, part mirror, and part map—supporting clients on what she calls the “activated hero’s journey” of entrepreneurship.

Elizabeth is also the co-creator of Centering YOU: Postpartum Edition, a therapeutic tool for new mothers and the providers who support them. She’s been featured in The Washington Post, Atlanta Magazine, podcasts, and ebooks, and is a sought-after speaker and educator on topics ranging from maternal mental health to embodied leadership.

In 2017, she founded the award-winning Georgia Chapter of Postpartum Support International (PSI-GA), where she served as President and continues to serve on the board. In 2019, she received the Carolyn Wetzel Continuum Award for her impact on maternal well-being in Georgia. She was recently appointed to the Georgia Maternal Mortality Review Committee, contributing to state-level solutions for improving maternal health outcomes.

Originally from Chicago, Elizabeth earned her B.S. in Social Work from Xavier University and her M.A. in Dance/Movement Therapy from Columbia College Chicago. Her early career took root in Alaska, where she served in shelters, schools, substance abuse centers, and remote Native villages—experiences that shaped her body-centered, relational, and justice-informed approach to care. Since moving to Atlanta, she’s built a thriving group therapy practice, launched a national consulting practice, and continued to create spaces where people come home to themselves and their purpose.

A lifelong activist, antiracist, and creative thinker, Elizabeth is known for her ability to get to the heart of what matters—gently, clearly, and with just the right amount of humor. Whether in a therapy session or a boardroom, she brings the same grounded presence and unshakable belief: when we reconnect to ourselves, we transform what’s possible.
