Hi! My name is Liz. Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a LCPC- Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and I have over 24 years experience in treating mental health conditions. I have been running my own private practice for 20 years. In my off time outside of therapy I love spending time with my husband, my 3 dogs, gardening, kayaking, and travelling as often as possible.
In the first session I gather information about your development, family of origin, medical history, educational background, work history and any psychosocial stressors you may currently be facing. I then work with you to establish treatment goals and I customize my therapy to your specific goals.
I love the brain! I believe in using a holistic and integrative approach in my therapy. I want to encourage my clients to utilize natural remedies and techniques to heal the mind as well as the body. I use neuroscience theory to facilitate lasting change. I teach psychosomatic practices to release anxiety, stress and trauma from the body. I utilize strength based practices to help clients increase their self esteem, develop problem solving and critical thinking skills. I teach people how to manage their stress and improve their overall quality of life.
I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy and reach their full potential. Life is filled with obstacles, struggles and difficult times from which we can learn. I offer a safe, nurturing and confidential environment to help you reframe your issues, move beyond your emotional pain and gently confront your challenges. I work with your individual beliefs and strengths to meet your needs, where you are in your emotional development. I offer healing and humor. Too often, we get caught up in the moment of pain, which feels like it never ends. I provide support, encouragement and the hope for change using empathy, compassion and acceptance.
Eclectic
I have been trained and been certified in numerous modalities of treatment. I customize my treatment specific to the individual's mental health concerns and conditions.
