Hello. I am Liz. I have been a mental health therapist for over 8 years. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma. I was born and raised in Los Angeles as a first-generation college student. I am an annoying dog mom obsessed with my fur babies and I truly love the work that I do. My main focus is creating a trusting relationship with each person that I work with. Once a strong relationship is established, the real work begins.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we will review intake forms, discuss the structure of sessions moving forward, and set goals for therapy. I also like to share fun facts about myself and learn more about you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

First, I focus on creating a trusting relationship with every person I work with. Second, I believe therapy is a life long relationship. I still see clients periodically that I have worked with for over 6-7 years. I believe that when life gets stressful, people should not have to start over. Clients can always return for sessions whenever they need to talk or process. Third, I have real world experience with each diagnosis that I specialize in. I believe that having personal experience with the symptoms that clients are coming in with allows me to truly empathize and teach skills that I have personally utilized.

My treatment methods

Trauma-Focused CBT

I was trained in TF CBT about 7 years ago. I have used trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy many times with many clients. I use TF CBT to help clients process traumas they have experienced and also to educate clients on the impacts of trauma.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I completed a mindfulness course at USC and have learned the plentiful benefits of using mindfulness techniques to assist with managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Feminist

I received a BA from UC Santa Barbara in Feminist Studies focusing on women's empowerment. I utilize strength based focus to manage obstacles women may face.
