Hi, I’m Elisabeth.

I’m a mother of two beautiful kids, I’m a wife, a marriage and family therapist, plant lady, cat lady, baker, painter, home chef, TV show binge-watcher, laundry procrastinator, cookie connoisseur, and a delightfully weird left-handed vegetarian with a bubbly personality - intuitive, compassionate, sarcastic, and honest to a fault. I love collecting pinecones, moss, and cool sticks and rocks on walks with my husband and kids. I also love listening to thrifted records, snuggling my babies and cats, decorating my space, and learning about all things family and couples therapy.

My own motherhood journey, with all its crazy ups and downs, has taught me the value of community and uniting as women. I needed to lean on my village, and I couldn’t understand why all the focus is just on the baby. It is time we channeled our energy toward mothering the mothers.

I’m a CT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate.

While these awesome gatherings are not therapy services, my background as an Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT-A) shapes the way I create and guide each experience. Grounded in systems theory, I understand that major life transitions — like becoming a mother — don’t happen in isolation. They affect the individual as well as the family unit, rippling through relationships, impacting identity, and emotional well-being.

I design each ceremony with this in mind, creating intentional, supportive spaces where the mother-to-be or postpartum mother feels seen, held, and validated — not just as an individual, but as someone navigating a profound shift within all her relational systems. The emotional work of processing this transformation is honored, with space to explore worries, hopes, and evolving roles.

Additionally, I incorporate principles from narrative therapy and experiential therapy to help weave the mother’s personal story into the ritual, fostering meaning, empowerment, and a sense of purpose in her new role. These approaches acknowledge that the mother is not simply changing — she is becoming, and that transition deserves sacred recognition.
