Many of the clients I work with are navigating depression, anxiety, the effects of childhood trauma, and relationship or attachment issues. Counseling offers a safe space to slow down and make sense of how past experiences shape your present life. Together we explore patterns that may be contributing to emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, or relationship struggles. My goal is to help clients reclaim their voice, shift old narratives, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. I offer thoughtful reflection, gentle challenge, and collaborative problem-solving while honoring each client’s culture, strengths, and pace.

You may be someone who feels a lot, holding it all together on the outside while unraveling on the inside. Maybe you’re a high achiever, a people pleaser, an anxious overthinker, or an intellectualizer. You care deeply, yet often feel unseen, misunderstood, or like you’re carrying more than your share. You might also be navigating the complexities of relationships, whether with a partner, polycule, or friend, and longing for more authentic connection, communication, and repair. Or you could be moving through anxiety, trauma (CPTSD or PTSD), grief, or identity exploration, searching for a space that feels grounding and human.

Hello and welcome to Courageous Healing, PLLC! My name is Lizzie (she/her/hers) and I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker worker (LICSW). Engaging in therapy takes strength, bravery, and courage. My therapeutic approach is guided through relational and person-centered practices, which involve seeing clients as complex, intricate people rather than diagnoses or “problems.” My intention as a therapist is to ensure my clients feel seen, heard, and understood, all of which I believe are of the utmost importance to healing.

You love your partner, but feel like you’re speaking two different languages? Relationships can feel messy... what feels like the same arguments, long silences, or patterns that leave you frustrated and disconnected. You want closeness, understanding, and connection, but instead, your current way of communication leaves you both feeling unheard and alone.
Maybe as an individual you’re juggling stress, anxiety, or ADHD, tired of feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or unsure how to move forward. You might be wishing for a calmer, more confident way to navigate life, feel understood, and move through your days with more ease.

Welcome to a safe space for self-discovery and healing. I work with clients navigating complex, developmental, and attachment trauma, as well as depression and anxiety. Many are thoughtful, self-aware people who may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, especially in relationships or in how they relate to themselves.
My space is real, relational, and relaxed. If you need a strictly formal or highly clinical approach, we probably won’t be a great fit. If hearing the occasional curse word feels grounding rather than shocking, you’re in the right place.

People prioritize therapy when it is necessary or important to them. I want to make therapy flexible enough for your busy life, with evening appointments, telehealth, and in-person options. Therapy works best if you have a trusting relationship with your therapist, and I aim to provide that setting, getting to know who you are and what you need, as you are the expert on your life. I hope to help you with the skills that will be useful throughout your life. While I work from a variety of treatment lenses, I believe the best way to heal is through the relationship and trust built.

Everyone faces challenges in life, but you don't have to go through it alone. Healing happens in relationships -in our connections to self, community and the environment. As a clinician, I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and treatment is a collaborative process led by the client with guidance from the clinician. My primary goal is to provide support to individuals and families to help them find the best solutions for themselves to achieve their goals. In session I utilize strengths-based, values-driven and person-centered techniques to help clients find their own path to optimal health and wellbeing.

Your mind is different than others. This makes it difficult to manage your time, finish projects, and stay focused. You make well-intentioned commitments that you struggle to keep. You get your work done, but you procrastinate and often turn things in at the last minute. You look like you have it all together, but you’re struggling inside. This struggle is impacting your relationships, your home life, and your work. It also makes it difficult for you to enjoy your hobbies and pursue new ones. Maybe recently got diagnosed with ADHD, or you're wondering if you're ADHD.

If you are someone who "breaks the mold," or someone who always felt out of place, I am here to help explore that experience. Whether you identify as LGBTQ+, Neurodiverse, or even a "gamer," you have unique parts of yourself that require an understanding that one size does not fit all. Depression, anxiety, and trauma responses can all be a result of living in a world that might not understand you; I want to create a therapeutic space where you feel safe to be authentically you.

Welcome! I am a licensed psychologist specializing in challenges with self-worth and relational trauma, as well as the feelings of depression, anxiety, or numbness that often occur with these experiences. My work is rooted in attachment-focused and trauma-informed approaches - I help people understand how relationships (especially the earliest ones in our lives) impact being able to feel emotionally safe with themselves and others. I especially enjoy helping people get out of their heads and into their hearts, or do the opposite when it would help to slow down our emotional experiences to make sense of them.

It is common to encounter difficulties throughout life. When such challenges arise, individuals may seek the assistance of a counselor or therapist to better understand and address their issues. Choosing to pursue counseling is the initial step toward change and is often a difficult decision. I work with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, early childhood trauma, sexual abuse, PTSD, and family integration challenges. I am dedicated to listening to your concerns and aiding you in developing a deeper understanding of these issues.

To quote Mariah Carey, “Love takes time.” I am a relational therapist, which means our working relationship and your relationships with others are incredibly important to me. Building relationships takes time and trust. Perhaps you have some life experiences that cause you to distrust others and maybe even distrust yourself. Maybe you're feeling anxious or depressed. I want to work with you to heal old hurts, understand current experiences, and help you learn to live and love fully. Reliving the past can be painful, but there is knowledge to gain from it. And maybe, in time, more love for yourself.
