I am a bilingual psychotherapist and I specialize in trauma, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem issues. I approach therapy with empathy, compassion, and respect. I am passionate about utilizing evidence-based strategies to help clients successfully reach their treatment goals. I utilize a compassionate and client-centered approach, empowering and supporting clients toward healing and change. Let's talk about enhancing your emotional well-being and how I can support you in designing a life you love living!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, I help clients feel welcomed, comfortable, and safe. We'll go over informed consent and expectations of treatment. There will be a lot of questions and information gathering to help me understand you while providing insight into the function of your experiences. I take a collaborative approach that supports you, builds on your strengths, and increases your ability to cope with life's current and future challenges.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having experience specializing in trauma and self-esteem work. I worked in community mental health where I provided individual therapy (children, teens, adults, and older adults), couples therapy, and family therapy. I also provided group therapy to victims of domestic violence for 4 years. I was then inspired to specialize in trauma work and completed my training in EMDR through the EMDR Institute. When I'm not providing therapy, I am working as a clinical supervisor supporting intern therapists toward licensure.

I always love my sessions with Lizzet! She is by far the best therapist I have had. She is so warm and empowers me to explore how I am feeling and is very open-minded. I look forward to seeing her weekly and she never fails to leave me with encouragement and positive vibes :)

Started taking sessions since I had anxiety and stress issues. Lizzet is an amazing therapist, she taught me ways to manage anxiety and stress. She is very warm, compassionate and thorough in her service. Highly recommend.
