HI. I’M Lizzy!  

Sometimes we are hit with a particularly intense shit storm keeping us trapped and scared. If you’re looking for a breath of fresh air from this storm I may be the therapist for you!

I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s ups and downs and embrace the change they’re ready for. I specialize in couples and family therapy, trauma, and somatic experiences, focusing on helping people find fulfillment and strength in their lives. As a queer-affirming counselor, I offer compassionate support for navigating infidelity, shifting relationship dynamics, and other challenges.

I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), (like EMDR, but faster!), a cutting-edge approach that helps process and resolve deep-seated emotions. ART is effective for conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and grief, OCD, substance abuse and negative perceptions of self, and it often brings relief after just one session. This therapy uses guided eye movements to help you break free from past experiences that feel stuck in your body and allows you to experience life with renewed clarity and freedom.

  • The time needed to complete an ART session varies based on the severity of the issue and will be discussed during your consultation and intake assessment.

My goal is to support you in discovering fulfillment and empowerment in your life. I am committed to fostering self-discovery, self-appreciation, and resilience. I continuously seek opportunities for growth and innovation in the field of clinical mental health, striving to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those I serve.

When I’m not at work I can be found gallivanting on the beach with my pup or in the weight room slamming some plates and setting PR’s. If you’re ready for a fresh perspective and support on your journey to peace and empowerment, schedule a free consultation now to connect!
