In therapy, we will use different skills and techniques that are tailored specifically for you and your needs/goals. We all have different personalities and ways we perceive the world where we need to learn how to manage concerns/stressors that arise. Whether you are struggling with daily routines, time management and organizational skills, financial concerns, fear/worries, sadness, unhealthy coping skills, religious struggles, medical concerns, and more, we will work together to achieve the goals you desire in a holistic manner.

We all need someone to talk with in a world of "virtual reality" where we can work through the treasures of our hearts that we hold dear. Be encouraged; you are not alone.

I would help to work through any experiences that you feel are relevant to where you are now and help you to connect how your experiences have shaped your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Clients have shared with me in the past that I am down to earth and that they feel comfortable opening up to me knowing that I will support them in their choices.

When working with Liz, it is paramount that clients understand therapy is a process that requires work from both the client and the therapist, and the work is not limited to just within the session for the client. She encourages clients to take as much responsibility as they can when caring for their physical, emotional, and spiritual health because while the therapist can certainly provide wisdom, guidance, and redirection, ultimately the strength, courage, and power to heal are within each and every individual client.

Liz's personal approach is to see beyond diagnoses and problems, and her style is transparent and somewhat nontraditional. She hopes through her work with individuals to be able to bring out their strengths behind the struggles, to point out the achievements where they see shortcomings, and to instill hope, no matter how dire the straits and bleak the outlook may look. Her therapeutic superpower is her ability to engage, connect, and build rapport with a wide range of people.

"If you are looking for a therapist who has many years of personal and professional experience with LGBTQ+ issues, addiction recovery, ADHD, grief/loss, infertility, adoption, and parenting, feel free to reach out to me," says Liz. "When I am not spending time with my four young children, four dogs, and two cats, I'm cooking, gardening, cycling, doing carpentry and art projects, listening to music, playing and watching sports, or enjoying the comfort of friends and fellowship."
