Reaching out for therapy can take courage, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) with nearly a decade of clinical experience in inpatient behavioral health. I focus on depression and bipolar mood concerns, anxiety, ADHD, and life stressors.
I offer individual, couples, premarital, marriage, family, child, and adolescent counseling. The environment is a non-judgmental, safe place of acceptance. I will walk along side and help you develop strength and peace. I offer ways that can be helpful in managing trauma, stress, and dealing with communication and trust within relationships. My goal is to help you access internal resources and make adjustments that can be helpful. Since 2013, my focus has been working with individuals who are dealing with a variety of issues, including trauma. I enjoy working with a diverse population including individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and grief, to develop a plan to bring positive changes.
I'm Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Synergetic Play Therapist & Supervisor, and am trained in EMDR trauma therapy. I use Synergetic Psychotherapy and Synergetic Play Therapy (SPT) to help clients get real change without spending years in therapy. The average number of SPT sessions is 15!
Hello, I'm Liz! I have over 5 years of experience working inpatient, outpatient, and varying levels of severity. I enjoy getting to know people and be an extra ear to their troubles. I can be sarcastic at times, and consider myself a person talking to people!
I am a native Texan, auntie, ice cream-loving, roller skating, retired professional athlete who also happens to be a Therapist. My background in the world of mental health dates back 10 years, in my work with families of Autism, Substance abuse and misuse, Student-athletes, Life- transitions, and family therapy. I enjoy introducing people back to themselves as they unpack their past with grace and patience. If you are experiencing racing thoughts, overthinking, or people-pleasing, let our work together find the root cause and, from there, uncover solutions that work for you. I believe that therapy does not have to be "forever," and my role is to safely get you to a place of wholeness within your next quest and journey.
Although I have a wide range of professional experience ranging from maternal/family health and parenting, to grief and trauma, my focus usually gravitates towards trauma, as it tends to be an underlying unaddressed symptom behind many different presentations. I believe everyone will be, at some point in their life, in need of help and because of this, everyone is thus also deserving of it. Unbiased, without judgement or fear of retaliation or criticism- just the ability to let go in a safe, trusting space. With my practice, you set the course- and I will provide the tools and support to get us there.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I bring both professional expertise and a warm, down-to-earth approach to therapy. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel understood while developing practical, meaningful steps toward healing and growth.
Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our four children, getting lost in a good book, watching sports, traveling, and enjoying the outdoors. These moments help keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of connection, balance, and finding joy in everyday life.
You don't have to navigate life's rough waters alone. Together, we can work toward finding clarity, building resilience, and creating the steady ground you're looking for.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been living in Colorado since 2005. I have a Master's of Science degree in Counseling with an emphasis on Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy. I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults who have experienced trauma, struggle with anxiety and/or depression symptoms, grief, self-esteem, and relationship issues.
