Our Team
Love is a battlefield? Maybe, but only if you are fighting for the same team. You don't have to go through this alone. I help couples move from disconnection to security, teaching them to fight for each other rather than against each other. Through Emotion-Focused Therapy, I guide partners in recognizing their conflict patterns and expressing their needs while deepening their bond. Together, we build a foundation where the question, “Are you there for me?” is met with the answer, “I’m right here.”

You don't have to keep carrying it all alone. I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside while struggling internally. Together, we create a safe, supportive space where you can slow down, gain insight, build practical coping skills, and reconnect with your strengths. My goal is to help you move from surviving to living with greater confidence, balance, and fulfillment.

Hi, I’m Lizzy! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with degrees in social work, and I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, chronic stress, and the ups and downs of daily life. My approach is holistic—I use tools from CBT, DBT, polyvagal theory, and body-centered psychotherapy—because I believe that healing happens when we care for both the mind and the body.

On this journey to wholeness, we all need a little assistance sometimes. We are all designed to move towards healing and wholeness and therapy can help. As a provider and fellow human and seeker I specialize in working with individuals healing from trauma, anxiety, depression and addictions. I believe using the mind, body and spirit in our healing process is necessary. I use Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, mindfulness and Yoga to assist individuals in processing grief, trauma and reconnect safely to their bodies.

From my perspective, as Virginia Satir stated: "Problems are not the problem, coping is the problem." This means that in order to solve problems we have not solved before, we need to think differently. The solution is in seeing how our personal worldview has helped in some situations and not so much in others. Our stories hold the key there. The problem is also that it is difficult to see how our stories have impacted our life because most are semi-conscious or unconscious. But we have our life experiences to reflect on and find clarity from. My ideal client is someone who wants to get better, thrive and find joy.

We often pride ourselves on carrying it all—being steady, capable, the one others lean on. But under the surface, you might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or like something from the past still has a grip on you. Trauma doesn’t always look obvious—sometimes it shows up in our relationships or in the pressure to keep going while feeling like you’re always dropping the ball.
