Who I Help

We are likely a good fit if you’re experiencing:

  • Burn out, stress, and indecision in your career or life
  • Exhaustion from over-functioning, holding yourself to high standards, and trying to control, well everything
  • Imposter syndrome, like never feeling good enough and fear others will “find out”, despite your success
  • Overwhelming panic, fear, anxiousness, or worry
  • Fatigue from having to hold it all together

Specializations

I’m experienced helping adults cultivate lasting growth to overcome anxiety, OCD, ADHD, relationship, and career related issues.

Primary Methods

  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
  • Solutions-focused Coaching

Let’s show your anxiety who’s really in control. Overcome worry, Panic, Agoraphobia, Fears, Perfectionism, “Imposter Syndrome”, second-guessing/self-doubt, discomfort with uncertainty, PTSD, trauma, and social anxiety.

Feeling stuck in your career, leadership, or job transition? Develop work-life balance, confident leadership, reduce burn-out, improve stress management, work through workplace issues, and successfully navigate career transitions.

Are you experiencing Intrusive/unwanted thoughts or images, urge to engage in compulsive thinking or acts to reduce distress or anxiety, difficulty allowing uncertainty, and chronic doubt? Some people don’t even realize their over-thinking and constant worry is actually OCD. Stop prolonging your suffering and get specialized OCD treatment for lasting healing.

Overwhelmed, overstimulated, and paralyzed from taking action? I can help with executive dysfunction, emotional overwhelm, sense of chaos when overstimulated, difficulty maintaining focus, communication, feeling misunderstood, relationship challenges/difficulty maintaining friendships and responsibilities, inability to focus or sustain attention, and difficulty pulling away from activities when hyperfocused on interests.

Helping singles and couples heal from unhealthy relationship patterns and create deeper more meaningful relationships. We can improve trust, conflict, communication, unhealthy or unbalanced dynamics, boundaries, assertiveness, commitment, marriage, break ups/divorce, & more.

Hi, I’m Lizz

Life doesn’t slow down. When you’re balancing career demands, relationship dynamics, and your own high expectations, it’s easy to lose sight of your own well-being. It may feel counter-intuitive, but this means we often need to slow down and do things differently.


You might feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Often leaving you feeling exhausted, anxious, or disconnected from what used to matter most. Using evidence-based methods like CBT and ACT, I am dedicated to helping you reach a greater sense of clarity, feel more present in your relationships, more grounded in yourself, and more confident in your work.

With the right support, you can cultivate a healthier mindset and redesign your life, fueling lasting fulfillment, personally and professionally. Reach out today and let’s talk about how to get there.

The Counseling Process

How to get started and what to expect when you contact me.

1
Schedule a Free Consultation

I will call you for a free 15-minute phone consultation, you may share your concerns, goals, and ask any questions. It’s a great chance to learn more about me, my approach, and how I may help.

2
Documentation & Intake

If you decide to move forward in counseling, we will schedule a 1-hour counseling intake assessment. This session helps me learn about you, your background, and your counseling goals.
You will receive a link to complete your intake documentation in your client portal.

3
Begin Your Growth

In either weekly or every two weeks sessions, you will gain new insights, resources, and skills for working toward your goals. Most clients work with me in 50-55 minute sessions for 12-24 weeks.

Live Your Values-Aligned Life

Settle in to the “new you”. Through the process of therapy, you will develop healthier habits, ways of thinking, and relating to others that support you in living a life aligned with your personal values.
