Hello! My name is Liz, and I'm not your average therapist. I am multi state licensed as a Mental Health Counselor with an extensive history of working in inpatient and outpatient settings, private practice and correctional facilities. When I'm not being a therapist, you can usually find me somewhere outdoors, in a tattoo parlor, binge watching a true crime series or getting coffee.

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

In your first therapy session with me, you can expect a welcoming environment where we'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, establish individualized goals, and begin to build a trusting therapeutic relationship to support your journey towards growth and healing.

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

I bring a little bit of humor and a lot of empathy to every session. If you're looking for a therapist who's all about rigid boundaries and textbook techniques, then I'm probably not your cup of tea. But, if you're looking for someone who's down-to-earth, easy to talk to, holds you accountable and is a little bit sarcastic, then you've come to the right place.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am best positioned to serve clients who are motivated, resilient, and unafraid to confront challenges head-on in their journey. Whether grappling with anxiety, depression, or navigating life transitions, my approach is assertive, but tailored to empower and support individuals who are committed to personal growth, offering a collaborative space for exploration, transformation, and lasting change.
