Hi, I'm Liz! I specialize in helping people heal from difficult things and move forward from their past experiences. Fluent in Spanish and bi-cultural, I bring a deep understanding of multicultural issues into my practice.
My approach
I use a strengths-based and humanistic approach, incorporating EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy to address Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD. I also work from a feminist perspective, believing in the power of open, meaningful conversations to foster healing and personal growth.
My focus
I enjoy helping people to feel better! I work with clients with PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. I am very comfortable assisting people to feel better from difficult situations, whether it is an assault, an abusive relationship, or childhood abuse that occurred long ago.
My communication style
My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can explore your experiences and help you build a stronger, healthier future. I discuss your thoughts and feelings and validation and empowerment are super important.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always enjoyed helping people. In addition to my therapeutic work, I am a university instructor and conduct immigration and trauma evaluations. My academic background includes Bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice, a Master's degree in Social Work, and over 3,000 hours of clinical internship experience leading to independent licensure in 2016. I have completed my coursework for a PhD in Psychology focusing on Trauma and am working on my dissertation.
My goals for you
Collaboratively! You are the expert in your own life. I am here to help guide you, but you are the star of the show!
My first session with you
Lots of questions. I like to hear my clients' stories and allow them to ask me questions too. I also like to help educate and empower people. If this sounds appealing to you, check me out!
