I’m a bilingual, multicultural Licensed Professional Counselor who supports adolescents, teens, parents, adults, couples, and families in both English and Spanish. If you or your child is struggling, or if your family is feeling the stress of anxiety, behavior concerns, school challenges, grief, life changes, or family conflict, I’m here to help.

I also support clients who are dealing with the effects of abuse, including painful memories, anxiety, and past experiences that still feel present today.

I am a therapist who understands that everyone’s mind works differently. When you know your mind works differently from other people, you need a therapist whose mind works differently too. I have 15 years experience working with:

Neurodiverse folks (adhd, autism spectrum, sensory processing issues, AuDHD), animal people, grief and loss related to pets and people, menopause, elders, introverts, empaths, those experiencing social anxiety, isolation and/or loneliness, chronic health issues, life changes (including menopause) and life purpose. I also have experience working with the Native American community.

Being a "pre-elder", I've led many chapters of my life and have learned from every single one (even the cringey ones). It has taught me to focus on what is truly valuable and fulfilling and how to be comfortable just being me. I hope these things are cultivated in the therapeutic relationship with clients. My own neurospiciness allows me to connect with others that experience the world in a different way than neurotypical folks do, and my love for animals and kindness makes therapy with HSPs, empaths, introverts and animal people more connected as well.

Stuck in survival mode? Crashing out? Riding the hot mess express? Maybe it is the first time sharing the deep, raw truth of your story... or maybe you’re tired of saying it over and over and feeling like other people don’t really “get” it. You don't have to pretend everything's okay or fit into a mold. I'm here for the real you. We can build your own personal path to healing. I help people do this by exploring thoughts, gaining insight, and developing tools to thrive.

What is your approach to therapy?

I believe that every person has inherent value, and was uniquely made for this Earth. Most people saw the best in themselves and others, when at some point they were overcome with disappointment, hurt, or other of life's challenges. When this happens they may find themselves asking, "Who is there to listen without judgement?" or "Who can I tell what happened when I think nobody will understand?" These people want to have a life worth living, but feel like it's too much to navigate on their own.

What can clients expect from their first session with you?

I'm a strong advocate, and I can help you to advocate for yourself too. I can be a listening ear, a helper, someone to have an open honest dialogue with. I use humor and relationship to help people feel well supported and motivated towards their goals.

Hi, I’m Liz, a therapist who believes healing starts with feeling truly seen and heard. My approach is gentle but direct, and I focus on what’s actually working in your life while finding small, realistic steps toward change. Many of the people I work with are women navigating grief, anxiety, trauma, or the challenges of motherhood. I also understand that sometimes we’re not trying to thrive , we’re just trying to survive in a world that can feel heavy and unpredictable. My goal is to help you make sense of that survival mode, find steadiness within it, and slowly reconnect with you again.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience working with teens (13+), adults, active military, and veterans.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and autism. I also work with LGBTQ+ clients. I use CBT, DBT, ACT, and solution-focused therapy, but I don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. I focus on getting to the root of what's going on and figuring out what actually works for you.

You don't have to have it all figured out to start. You just have to show up. I'll do the work with you, no judgment, no pretense.

If you're ready, I'm here.
