Welcome! I'm Liz. 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!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions 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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
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!
