I believe we all have a story and our experiences and interactions with others throughout our lives shape that story. Whether the story is predominantly positive or negative, we all have the power within us to edit or rewrite it to realize our dreams and wishes. Through focusing on one’s strengths, challenging negative thought processes, and addressing trauma, I enjoy partnering with clients to empower them to edit their story so they are able to move forward and achieve the life they have always envisioned for themselves.

We are all searching for happiness. We all want our children and partners to be happy. Happiness begins when we are able to let go of the hurt and pain that keeps us stuck. Liz believes in empowering her clients to acknowledge their bravery by seeking therapy and beginning the healing process. It is important to find a therapist you feel comfortable and safe with to share memories, or the painful recollections that are holding you back from becoming the best version of yourself.

Let's be honest, relationships are challenging. Whether you're struggling with a romantic relationship or a relationship with yourself, I want to help. I provide a judgement free space for individuals and couples to show up as they are without expectations of who they "should be". My goal is to create an environment that is supportive of personal growth, healing from trauma and improving self-compassion. I want each client to walk out feeling seen, and heard. With empathy, understanding, and a little humor, I work with each individual or couple to build on their strengths and empower them to overcome the challenges they are facing.

I've thought about therapy before, but how do I know if I'm ready? How will working with a professional help more than how my family and friends have tried to help? I've heard about psychological testing before, but it seems like a lengthy process and I'm not sure if it will help moving forward. These are just a handful of questions and concerns that are raised by clients seeking support, and I'm happy to help you find some answers. Dr. Lipika W. Jain is a licensed clinical psychologist with experience in individual therapy and psychological testing.

When people feel isolated or alone in their situation, they need someone else to help them gain a new perspective, feel differently, or at times escape the state at hand. My philosophy is to view therapy as if it were a "tune up" to help people keep operating through life. Just like cars need regular tune ups and oil changes to keep running smoothly, people also need regular check-ins and support for internal issues. This is especially important for people of color and minority populations because they face additional societal challenges (including microaggressions) that may or may not be overt but are often painful.
