Hi, I’m Liz, a compassionate and experienced therapist specializing in individual therapy with adults navigating the challenges of anxiety and depression. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain, I'm here to provide a safe and supportive space where we can explore your unique journey.
With over 15 years of experience, I help adults manage their anxiety so that they can live their lives to the fullest. We will work together to help you take those first steps and become an active participant in your life. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices like CBT, ACT, ERP, mindfulness, and self-compassion.
I offer convenient therapy via telehealth. I offer a free phone consultation as I find this is helpful for potential clients to determine if I'm the best fit for them. I look forward to speaking with you!
