Come as you are!
Whether you’re experiencing difficulties for the first time, or you’ve been struggling for your entire life, you are welcome in my practice. As a social worker and therapist, I am committed to meeting you wherever you are in your journey.
I offer a space to pause, reflect, and understand yourself more deeply; to clarify what matters to you and learn techniques for living with greater authenticity and purpose. The therapeutic relationship is both practical and personal: We’ll develop skills to help you navigate daily life while also exploring the deeper patterns shaping your experiences.
In our work together, we’ll explore your experiences with curiosity, compassion, and honesty. Whether you’re managing childhood wounds, depression, anxiety, or navigating identity and belonging, this is a space where your complexity is welcomed. I believe you are the expert on yourself. My role is to guide, support, and empower you as you access your own wisdom and healing.
“Healthy introspection, without undermining oneself; it is a rare gift to venture into the unexplored depths of the self, without delusions or fictions, but with an uncorrupted gaze.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche
Welcome, I’m Liz.
As a psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker, I bring both professional training and lived experience to create a deeply inclusive and supportive space. Through my own experience as a queer, nonbinary, and disabled therapist of color, I understand the complexities of navigating the world with multiple identities and perspectives.
I see therapy as a partnership, where you are the expert on your own life. I’m here to support you in accessing the tools, insight, and courage to build the life you want.
Engaging in therapy with me is a process of curiosity, acceptance, and meaningful change. You lead the direction, and I walk beside you as we explore the path forward.

Help for hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, and other BFRBs. We’ll utilize evidence-based approaches like Habit Reversal Training (HRT), Comprehensive Behavioral (ComB) Treatment, and ACT to reduce urges and develop healthier habits.
My Therapeutic Approach
My therapeutic work integrates evidence-based modalities (including CBT, DBT, ACT, and IFS) with practices such as mindfulness, self-compassion, and yoga-based techniques. Influenced by principles of Existentialism, Zen Buddhism, and Stoicism, my approach balances more structured therapy with deeper exploration, self-reflection, and finding meaning.
The therapy process is highly individualized and develops collaboratively, allowing each session to be intentionally tailored to your goals, values, and pace.
Together, we create a healing space that honors your full experience and supports greater awareness, acceptance, and purposeful living.
