Elizabeth earned her Associate of Arts degree from San Jose City College, a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Bethany Bible College, and a Master’s degree in Counseling from Oral Roberts University. She completed her licensure coursework through John F. Kennedy University and has been a licensed clinician since 2016.

Her clinical expertise includes trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, thought disorders, attachment, grief, and the complexities of foster care and adoption.

In addition to her clinical and nonprofit leadership, Elizabeth serves as Chair of the Santa Clara County Child Abuse Prevention Council for the 2026–2027 fiscal year.
