With nearly two decades of experience in helping children and families, Elizabeth launched Happy Camper Child and Family Therapy in response to the changing demands of adapting to a post COVID society. After experiencing first hand the detrimental effect of the lockdown of 2020, Elizabeth committed to develop a new strategy for providing safe, consistent treatment for children and families.
Elizabeth has advanced credentials in Play Therapy (treatment for children and families) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). She is a TBRI Educator (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) and has specialized training in family relationships and attachment styles.
Elizabeth is a mother to 8 children (through birth and adoption) and enjoys hiking, camping, and kayaking together. Personally experiencing the benefits of a camping retreat, Elizabeth has a vision to enhance the therapeutic experience with the unique camping environment.
