MSW RSW | Founder of Illumination Therapeutic Services

Elizabeth is a Master’s level Social Worker with 20 years of experience in mental health and addictions. She specializes in supporting individuals, couples, and families, using an integrative approach that blends traditional therapy with alternative healing. Passionate about guiding parents in understanding child development, she also helps clients navigate grief, loss, and life transitions with compassion. Elizabeth understands that trust is earned and can take time to build. She believes in showing up as her authentic self and bringing the lessons she has learned throughout her life, not simply as a Social Worker, to sessions with her clients. She believes in dismantling the power dynamic between therapist and client, and that this allows for growth and holistic healing. Elizabeth sees the relationship between herself and her clients as the starting ground for sustainable change outside of the therapy room.

Originally from the Yukon, Elizabeth finds solace in nature and enjoys exploring the mountains with her dog and family. As a published author of Soaring With Burnt Wings, she shares insights on healing and resilience. She fosters a non-judgmental space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and empowered.
