“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
-Carl Rogers
“I’ve come to this work with the understanding of how problems can keep us in isolation. I whole-heartily believe every person deserves a safe space to be their authentic self; a space in which they know they will be met with warmth, respect, and unconditional positive regard.”
Elizabeth Armstrong, MA, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #111154
Connecting with people, giving them time that is all theirs; a space to be heard and understood without judgment, but with compassion and guidance is my passion.
I am former teacher and family resource specialist. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Family Service, and a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology. I belong to the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, California Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, and Psi Chi Psychology National Honor Society. I hold AAMFT certifications in Substance Abuse Therapy and LGBTQIA Affirmative Therapy.
I also have certification in Pet Grief Counseling. In 2020 I became certified in Reiki and nearing completion my AAMFT LMFT Supervisor certification.

I connect to my joyful spirit through travel, live music, yoga, and time with my puppies,
friends, and family.
