I am first, a client-centered therapist. I believe therapy should be about the client and be met with unconditional positive regard. There is no place for judgment in therapy, and I am here to help you process and make your own decisions, not to tell you what to do. I’ve been in practice over eight years with a focus on substance use, trauma, and LGBTQ+ issues. I can be solution-focused; however, I believe in listening to the client above anything else. I am trained in EMDR and very comfortable in using this modality via telehealth. I use Gestalt Therapy techniques, along with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help clients explore ongoing emotions in the here and now.
I earned a Master of Science in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Capella University. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC), and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I am fluent in English and Spanish.

I have been doing EMDR with Liz for almost 5 months and she has completely changed my life. For anyone wanting to try EMDR for the first time (or again), she's the perfect therapist for it!

Liz is wonderful. She’s attentive, empathetic, and very knowledgeable. I’ve years and years of therapy and she is first one to give me a solid explanation to habits I have and keep repeating. She helped me break patterns and recognize them as well. Forever grateful.

I've only had one session so far but I think she really knows what she's talking about when it comes to trauma therapy. I'm excited to continue with her and get to do more sessions.

Liz is absolutely amazing! Within our first session I knew she would have the knowledge required to assist me with my concerns. She is compassionate, validates my feelings, and offers solutions geared towards my needs and wants and at no time did I feel pressure to try a specific type of therapy that did not suit me. I end each session with a new tool and look forward to my upcoming sessions.

Liz gives me space to express myself and my needs. She has suggested out of the box (for me) alternatives to talk therapy, which I haven't really thought about but very excited to explore these avenues of therapy :)
