For over 20 years I have had the pleasure of working with people from all walks of life in their journey of healing emotional pain. I value and respect the complexities that come with being human, recognizing that each person brings their own unique experiences and challenges. My approach centers on building trusting and compassionate relationships, which I believe are essential for healing. Through these supportive connections, many individuals have found recovery and growth, whether they are healing from childhood sexual abuse, rebuilding their lives after a divorce, or recovering from the pain of an affair

Therapist

Hi, I’m Liz! I help clients heal from past trauma and uncover the root of what’s keeping them feeling stuck. Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world—often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries.

My work focuses on addressing these deeper patterns to support lasting healing and meaningful personal growth. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.

I believe therapy should not only be effective but also feel human and approachable. We’ll roll up our sleeves and do the work together, while also making space for moments of lightness along the way.
