Meet your therapist
Meet Elizabeth Kresojevich, LMFT founder & owner
Welcome to I’m All Ears, LLC I am so glad to be connected with you. My journey to become a Marriage and Family therapist began in 2010, and ever since it has been a dream of mine to create a safe space for those in need to explore their inner most thoughts, connect deeply in relationships and process life’s most vulnerable experiences. Throughout my life I have always had a strong interest in relationships, the closeness of families, human resiliency and the ability for people to change from within.
Therapy has always been a positive resource in my life and I believe my own personal experiences allow me to have greater insight as a clinician. I have a deep passion for helping individuals, families and couples come together through building secure relationships, increasing empathy, and growing connection. I grew up in a family where it felt as though resilience was passed down by genetics, with deep cultural roots, stories of hard work, perseverance, and bravery. For a long time, I had created a narrative that embodied the idea that in order to honor my ancestors, I had to prove to the world a sense of perfection and strength in all ways. Ultimately, this caused anxiety in most areas of my life, allowing narratives of shame and disappointment to seep in to my everyday thoughts.
Along my journey to heal, I had sought therapy primarily to process grief, loss and intergenerational traumas, but soon came to realize that my own personal journey in therapy became so much more than this. I was able to process my grief and loss, while also discovering a new narrative to honor my Balkan culture, my family and create new definitions of strength, eventually reducing my anxiety. I was able to slowly step away from the label of “perfectionist,” which is still a work in progress; and create new definitions of what it means to be brave and embody strength while allowing myself to find compassion in areas I needed it most. My training as a therapist, primarily lives in Emotion Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. I believe that the relationships we have with ourselves, others, and our deep longing for connection, deserve to be held with care and understood with grace.
