Welcome! I'm Liz. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PhD). Have you noticed your outlook on your life growing increasingly grim? Perhaps struggling in your self-confidence, your ability to trust yourself or others in relationships, or enact positive change in your circumstances. I am a person-centered, integrative therapist that will instill hope to guide you to live a life rooted in your personal beliefs and values successfully. Whether you may be struggling with PTSD/trauma (including racial stress and acculturation), depression, anxiety, stress management, painful emotions, relationship difficulties, or making a healthy behavior change, I am here to tailor your treatment to you. I am an evidence-based therapist, who uses a multicultural approach to understand you, what has influenced your beliefs/values, and how your perspectives and life journey has evolved. I will partner with you on guiding you to a life worthy of you, using techniques that are proven to improve symptoms and achieve an optimal quality of life. I'm ready to collaborate with you!
I will invite you to develop a collaborative partnership with me and the opportunity to choose if this therapy space and this therapist, feel like a fit in continuing to build a strong therapeutic relationship that comprehensively addresses your issues, needs, and goals for therapy. Most folks come away with a renewed sense of hope.
I am an excellent listener, and pride myself on truly understanding my client. I am non-judgmental, open, accepting, especially in areas where clients' feel guilt and shame opening up. Oh, and I love using humor to bring joy!
I select and tailor a treatment that blends various evidence-based approaches to best suit your unique needs and goals in therapy. I am trained in multiple therapies that are proven to work in treating the gamut of mental health issues: Dialectical and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches, Mindfulness and Acceptance Based therapies (e.g ACT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused therapies (Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure). In this delivery, you are sure to receive the best fit for you to get well.
