You are not alone. 

Struggling with marital issues, depression, anxiety, sex and love addiction or memories of past pain and trauma can be incredibly isolating and lonely.  You might feel hopeless, overwhelmed, and uncertain of a way out of the pain.

At the Restored Hope blog, my goal is to share resources to guide you through getting unstuck, engaging challenging emotions, and experiencing a more full and vibrant life.

Check out the most recent articles from the blog below.

Hi, I’m Elizabeth, a licensed psychotherapist experienced in working with depression, anxiety, sex and love addiction, marital issues, and trauma.  I strive to be a champion of hope and support you as you walk through the deep, dark places of your story.  I write articles offering information and practical steps to help you make progress in the areas where you feel stuck.

You may feel buried under the weight of shame and secrecy.  I get it: the feeling of powerlessness, feeling enslaved to the relationship or the behaviors, the mood swings, the hopelessness, the constantly trying to find a way out and failing over and over again. I want to empower you to know you are not alone, you don’t have to live oppressed by your negative thoughts and feelings, and you can experience freedom from the burden of shame and the experience of addiction that rules your life.
