Often rebooked
Sometimes our thoughts and feelings can make us feel like they're "running the show." It’s common for life to get busy, new experiences to come into the mix, and for our old coping strategies to come back. As your therapist, I use EMDR, the Flash Technique, DBT, and attachment techniques to help you process what’s happened and learn skills for handling tough emotions. My approach is practical and straightforward, with room for humor and honesty, so you can focus on what matters most to you! These patterns, however they show up, are usually survival responses that have overstayed their welcome. When your nervous system stays on high alert, it’s hard to feel in control of your reactions and to move comfortably throughout the world. I focus on helping you process your emotions so that you can better understand yourself, respond with greater intention, and feel more grounded in daily life.”
Your first session is an opportunity for you to share your story and for us to explore how I can best support your goals. I’ll ask about your history, the challenges you’re currently facing, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. We’ll also discuss the different approaches available, such as EMDR, DBT, or talk therapy, so you can make an informed choice about what resonates with you. This initial conversation is about building a foundation of trust and collaboration to ensure we create a personalized plan for meaningful change in your life. With that said, I am a strong fit for clients who are seeking more than a place to vent. While emotional support is an important part of trauma and other types of therapy, my work also involves helping clients build insight, identify patterns, and practice skills to make intentional changes outside of session. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space grounded in accountability, and I work best with clients who are open to active participation in the therapeutic process.
My strengths as a therapist include helping clients feel both understood and gently challenged in a way that I hope encourages perspective. I am told that I bring warmth, curiosity, and honesty into the room, while also paying close attention to the patterns that may be shaping a client’s relationships, self-worth, and emotional responses. Clients report that they often benefit from my ability to slow things down, name what may be happening beneath the surface, and help them connect their present-day struggles to earlier experiences without judgment. I am especially drawn to working with clients who want to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and develop greater confidence in how they respond to difficult emotions. My approach is thoughtful, relational, and grounded in practical change, with an emphasis on helping clients build insight they can actually use in their daily lives. While I have only been licensed for 5 years, I am fortunate to have robust, multi-year experience in trauma and crisis management, executive practice management, trauma-processing, and client-facing advocacy.
I am best positioned as a telehealth therapist to assist those in the maintenance phase of recovery, and those recovering from complex trauma or working to develop coping skills for anxiety and OCD symptoms. **PLEASE NOTE THAT TELEHEALTH IS NOT TYPICALLY SUITED FOR THOSE IN ACTIVE CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY, ACTIVELY ENGAGING IN SELF MUTILATION, STRUGGLING WITH ACTIVE EATING DISORDERS, OR ACTIVE SUICIDALITY.

Other specialties
I identify as
EMDR
I have been trained in Level I of this method since 2023 through the Trauma Specialists Training Institute and am currently undergoing certification for EMDR. (I am also Flash Technique trained. ) For clarity, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps people heal from trauma or distressing life experiences and is one of the top-line recommended treatments for trauma related memories. It involves focusing on specific eye movements or other bilateral stimulation while recalling traumatic memories. This process helps the brain reprocess these memories, reducing their emotional impact. EMDR is based on the idea that our brains can heal from trauma, much like our bodies recover from physical injuries. It can be effective for treating PTSD, anxiety, and other emotional issues. Many clients find relief from distressing symptoms after just a few sessions. It's a well-researched and structured approach for single episode trauma, and some types of Complex Trauma.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of therapy that helps people accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. ACT (with some techniques borrowered from CBT therapy, in my approach) teaches mindfulness skills to help individuals live and behave in ways consistent with their values. The goal is to increase psychological flexibility, allowing people to adapt to situations and make positive changes. It involves committing to actions that improve and enrich life, despite the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings. I find this method effective for a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress. By embracing rather than avoiding discomfort, my clients can achieve a more fulfilling life.
Attachment-based
I use this modality especially with those who have experienced personal and intergenerational trauma. Attachment-based therapy focuses on understanding and improving the way people form and maintain emotional bonds with others. It stems from the idea that early relationships with caregivers shape how we connect with others throughout life. This therapy helps clients explore their attachment patterns and how these influence their current relationships. By addressing unresolved issues from the past, clients can develop healthier, more secure relationships. It's effective for issues like anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. Please note that I DO NOT work with attachment on a couples basis, INDIVIDUAL ONLY.
Motivational Interviewing
I utilize motivational Interviewing (MI) to help you find motivation and tangible solutions to make positive changes in your life. MI involves a collaborative conversation between the therapist and client, focusing on the client's own reasons for change. MI emphasizes empathy, active listening, and non-judgmental support to explore and resolve ambivalence. In my experience, this approach is effective for addressing issues like addiction, health behaviors, and lifestyle changes. I will help you strengthen your commitment to change by identifying and exploring your values and goals, empowering you to take ownership of your decisions and actions, fostering lasting transformation.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a therapeutic approach I use to help individuals understand and navigate their emotions more effectively. Emotions are at the core of our experiences, influencing our thoughts, behaviors, and overall well-being. In EFT, we work together to uncover the deeper emotions that may be driving your struggles, whether it’s anxiety, sadness, self-doubt, or feeling stuck in life. Through our sessions, I’ll help you explore how these emotions impact your daily life and guide you in expressing them in healthier, more constructive ways. EFT focuses on building emotional awareness and resilience, allowing you to process and transform difficult feelings rather than being overwhelmed by them. This can lead to greater self-acceptance, improved coping strategies, and a deeper sense of emotional well-being. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel supported in making lasting changes, helping you feel more in control of your emotions and more connected to your true self.

I continue to be impressed with Liam. He's exceptionally supportive, without being coddling. I really enjoy our conversations. I have already made small positive changes in my life even after the first month.

Liam brings a warm, kind, and understanding energy to every session. He makes me feel seen and understood. He is able to sense when a certain topic brings up feelings of trauma before I even recognize it in my own body. Even though our sessions can be intense, I find myself looking forward to them because it's nice to talk to someone who understands complex trauma and what it can do to your mind and body. I can't recommend Liam enough.

Liam impressed me with his insight, knowledge, professionalism and compassion far beyond my expectations for my first session... He identified things about me instantly which took me years to realize on my own, and I'm sure the biggest realizations are yet to come. He seemed wise beyond his years. I'm lgbt, and I felt a safe, positive but also very objective and balanced impression. He's a beautiful soul, inside and out. It all comes together so well. Thanks Liam! I'm happy to be in your care.
