I believe healing begins when we stop living by old stories, limiting beliefs, and expectations that no longer fit who we are. Therapy is an opportunity to understand yourself more deeply, challenge patterns that keep you stuck, and intentionally build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, self-worth, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. My approach is real, collaborative, and genuine, balancing compassion with accountability. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop practical tools for lasting change. I integrate evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing, tailoring treatment to your unique needs and goals. Whether you're learning to manage overwhelming emotions, heal from past experiences, or build healthier relationships, my goal is to help you gain the confidence and skills to move forward with greater clarity, authenticity, and purpose.

Hello, I'm Liz! Thank you for taking time to read about me, and my therapy approach. I earned my Master Degree in Social work with an emphasis in Mental Health in 2018 and am credentialed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Clients would best describe me as warm, kind, and reflective. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Treatment approaches that I find most beneficial are cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and family therapy modalities. I find using activities to help clients gain skills in mindfulness are beneficial. This can include creative projects that are thought provoking, sometimes artistic, and most importantly increase awareness of who you are before the world got its hands on you. I will tailor our time together and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs! It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take the step, let's get started in writing a healthy and new chapter in your life. I look forward to working with you!

I work with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from carrying more than they should. Many of those struggles include anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Some clients are also working through childhood wounds, religious or spiritual trauma, grief, loss, or changing sense of identity. I strive to provide a supportive, collaborative, and calming space where clients can better understand themselves, heal old patterns, and move forward toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, religious trauma, grief, depression and life transitions. Using EMDR and other trauma-informed approaches, I help clients understand and heal the patterns keeping them stuck. My approach is warm, direct, collaborative, and focused on meaningful change. Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or seeking deeper healing and self-understanding, you don't have to do it alone. Therapy can provide space to explore, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most to you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who works with adolescents (ages 12+) and adults. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to support clients in a variety of settings, including as a school counselor, a mental health provider in a county jail, in private practice, and now through Grow Therapy. These experiences have given me a broad perspective on the unique challenges people face and the resilience they bring to the counseling process. I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of childhood trauma. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. One of my passions is helping people understand how their brain and nervous system respond to stress, trauma, and the world around them. I believe that when we understand why we think, feel, and react the way we do, we can approach healing with greater self-compassion and confidence. While trauma can have a lasting impact, I believe growth beyond trauma is possible, and I am honored to walk alongside clients as they work toward healing and a more fulfilling life. I earned my bachelor's degree in Developmental Psychology, my master's degree in Counseling, and my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. I value lifelong learning and strive to incorporate evidence-based practices into my work while tailoring therapy to each client's unique needs and goals. When I'm not working, I enjoy crocheting and other crafts, spending time with my dogs, biking, and traveling. I look forward to supporting you on your mental health journey and helping you build the skills and insight needed to create lasting, positive change.

At our core, we’re all wired for love and connection. Life experiences—like trauma, loss, or unmet needs—can make it hard to live in that truth. The therapeutic relationship can serve as a vehicle to aid in reconnecting with yourself and explore safe connection to another. My approach is eclectic and focused on the present moment, drawing from mindfulness, self-compassion, IFS, and working with paradoxes in thought. Past clients have described my style as “compassionate, but not coddling.” I believe each person comes to therapy with their own innate wisdom, and I value collaboration and shared ownership in the healing process.

Life today is stressful and complicated. So many people are walking around pretending things are fine, not sharing what's really on their mind because they feel like no one will understand. That's a really tough place to be. I approach therapy as a caring, thoughtful, solution-focused friend. At the first session people often say, "Oh my gosh, I don't know where to start. I am all over the place!" and my response is, "No worries! Just dump it all out here and I'll pick up the pieces. We'll make sense of it together". I can be very straightforward; I don’t blow smoke! We will figure out where you want to go and start chipping away at making it happen.

Besides my educational and professional experiences, I have gone through my own life experiences and challenges. Clients come to me when their emotions feel too intense, their patterns feel unmanageable, or their relationships feel strained. Many are dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, avoidance, or habits that no longer serve them. They want to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and learn how to respond in healthier, more grounded ways. I help clients move forward by combining warmth with structure. Together, we create meaningful change that clients can carry into every part of their lives.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
