People seek me out when feeling dissatisfied with their life in some way, and together we work on creative & effective ways to: identify & manage emotions; be more present; feel more calm & joyful; increase self-compassion & self-esteem; build healthier relationships; move towards goals & dreams; and connect with their authentic self. Maybe you've never tried therapy and want to check it out, or you've "done therapy" in the past, but seek a different approach or are tired of "just talking." Trained in art therapy, EMDR, dreamwork, mindfulness, somatic awareness & more, I offer unique, affirming & integrative therapy experiences.

NEW clients WELCOME! I’m Elizabeth, or Liz for short. I am experienced in working with trauma. This is a commonly used word and there are many definitions for it. What I mean is that I help people who have gone through events in their lives, whether singular or reoccurring, that have caused parts of their personality to separate from other parts. This could be experienced through relational conflict, addictive tendencies, dissociation, sex, drugs, procrastination, a lack of motivation, inner conflict, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping or eating. My approach is somatic and relational, working with what shows up in the present moment.

Life has a way of providing us with times where we feel so hurt, messy, or emotionally raw that we may find ourselves wishing to be alone and hide - perhaps even from ourselves. Therapy provides a safe space and opportunity to delve into our relationships with others, ourselves, past events, and hopes in order to illuminate our preferred way of navigating through life. In my work with children and adolescents, I value learning the personal narratives that influence their sense of self, who they feel they are "supposed" to be, who they wish to be, and the problems that keep getting in the way.

I believe that relationships are the cornerstone to mental wellness. Because of this, I see my role as a therapist as an active team member in a client’s process toward change. I hold genuine curiosity that drives me to dive deep into each client and I hold strong value for each person’s story. I have found that telling your story is often where healing begins. I strive to create a safe space that invites you to face the dark places of your story, to highlight your resilience and cultivate empowerment. I am one of few in the Central Coast who is certified in Perinatal & Postpartum Mental health.
