I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nearly 30 years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of mental health needs. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Mississippi College, graduating with Special Distinction. My background includes on‐site work in psychiatric hospitals providing diagnostic assessments and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, as well as extensive outpatient experience addressing concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, substance use, trauma, adjustment disorders, and crisis intervention.

My clinical work also includes serving as a crisis counselor with the American Red Cross in Dallas during Hurricane Katrina, supporting displaced individuals and families through acute stress, grief, and major life disruption. In addition to my direct clinical roles, I spent nearly 25 years in managed care conducting nationwide clinical reviews for psychiatric and substance‐use facilities, strengthening my ability to assess complex cases, understand treatment systems, and advocate for appropriate levels of care.

While I have experience providing marital and family therapy, my primary focus is working with individuals who are seeking clarity, stability, emotional healing, and long‐term growth. I currently offer outpatient therapy and facilitate recovery‐focused groups in the Plano area, providing virtual care to clients throughout Texas.

My therapeutic approach integrates person‐centered interventions, motivational interviewing, reality‐based strategies, and—when desired—Christ‐centered counseling. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and belief systems, offering faith‐integrated care only when it aligns with the client’s preferences. My goal is to provide a supportive, grounded, and collaborative space where individuals can heal, grow, and build lasting change.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Weatherford, TX


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), who is trained in Play Therapy and Autplay Therapy, which is a specialized therapeutic approach for children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental differences, including autism, ADHD, sensory differences, social anxiety, learning differences, and other developmental or physical disabilities. It is neurodiversity-affirming, meaning it values the unique strengths of each child while addressing areas of challenge in a supportive and inclusive manner. AutPlay Therapy is designed so that parents are not just observers but active, trained “co‐therapists” who work alongside the child and the therapist to meet therapy goals at home twccllc.net. This collaborative approach ensures that the child’s progress is sustained beyond the therapy session, creating a “Co‐Regulation Loop” where parents and children regulate emotions and behaviors together.


With adults or couples, I take a holistic approach to counseling that looks at the mind, body, and spirit. I integrate spiritual practices into my counseling sessions by creating a safe and open space for clients to explore their beliefs and values. My aim is to assist you in overcoming life’s challenges and achieving your fullest potential by exploring deeper meaning and purpose in your life. I use a mix of different methods to tailor my approach to each person, creating a supportive and empathetic environment for growth and healing. My diverse experience helps me connect with people from all walks of life.


Outside of work, I enjoy horseback riding, spending time with my pups, serving at my church’s Youth Ministry, and staying active with CrossFit. These activities keep me balanced and fulfilled, and I bring that energy into my counseling practice.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Liz. I’m a bilingual therapist, and I feel most authentic when I can move naturally between both languages. I’m a Texan through and through, with plenty of Tex Mex Spanglish to show for it. I connect deeply with clients who are navigating family issues, generational trauma, cultural expectations, and the process of outgrowing beliefs or roles they were taught as children. I enjoy helping clients understand themselves better by exploring attachment patterns, nervous system responses, relationships, and the gap between who they were raised to be and who they are becoming. I have a heart for working with families, children, and parents because I believe it is easier to help children build healthier coping skills early than to wait until they are struggling later in life. I also find deep meaning in working with adults who are healing their inner child, breaking cycles, and learning how to live in a way that feels more honest and whole. My work often supports clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, stress management, parenting concerns, and life transitions.

Maybe your brain will not slow down long enough to finish what you started. Maybe the worry arrives before you are even out of bed. Maybe something happened years ago that you have never really put down. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors carrying ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I have spent over six years doing it across private practice, schools, and clinics. I work with people of all ages and abilities, in English or Spanish. It would be my honor to be a part of your journey.

Being told I "talk too much" in grade school has really worked out for me. I have 15 + years of experience working with diverse populations. Those populations include: homeless persons, LGBTQ+, those with chemical dependency, those living with HIV/AIDS, adolescents, college students, incarcerated persons, and senior adults. My experience and education has afforded me the opportunity to provide psychotherapy (which includes teletherapy), group therapy, consultation, and outreach services. I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling through Capella University. I am dedicated to diversity, inclusion, and equity.
