When you start to realize that the person you've been seeing through rose-colored glasses isn't the person you thought they were, it often feels like it's too late. By that point, you're already invested, attached, and trapped in a toxic cycle. Even though you're aware of the harm and destruction, you catch yourself saying, "But when it's good, it's so good!"

Alternatively, maybe you've come to the realization that you're the one not providing the love and compassion your partner needs. But deep down, both of you desire a healthy relationship.

Dr. Elizabeth knows what it's like to experience these challenges firsthand. She's been divorced, has a strained relationship with her parents, and has ridden the rollercoaster of toxic relationships. Yes, she's a therapist and a relationship coach, but that doesn't make her immune to pain and heartache. However, through her own journey of healing and personal growth, she has become an expert in helping others foster better and healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Dr. Elizabeth fights every day to be better, to heal, and to ensure that her past traumas don't define her. She's committed to showing up as a more compassionate and loving person for her loved ones and herself.
