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.
