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.

Even after my first phone consult with Lizzet I knew I was going to enjoy being in therapy this time. She has been great and I look forward to working with her for EMDR therapy. She definitely takes her time and is always keeping the client’s best interest in mind.

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 :)
