Why I’m a therapist
Life doesn’t have to feel this hard.
I enjoy helping people through some of the most complex anxiety and challenges because I know there’s a better way. I don’t want to see you suffering when there’s effective treatment waiting for you.
No matter how hard you try to do it all “right”, it never feels like enough. The everyday grind, anxiety, and pressure to perform is pretty exhausting when you’re managing it all alone on empty.
You can find that sweet spot of balance between a successful career, relationship, and life. I offer a new approach to managing all that life throws your way for a more connected and meaningful life.

I’m Lizz Gentzkow
Anxiety, Relationship, & Career Specialist
Your experience is important to me. I strive to create a safe space where you can be yourself and unpack what’s difficult. I am LGBTQ+ allied and neurodivergent affirming in my practice.
My clients tend to be thoughtful, busy people who desire peace, connection, and balance in their ambitions. Clients who find the most success with me tend to be insightful, curious, and practical, yet different thinkers.
I enjoy helping those impacted by anxiety/OCD, neurodivergence, career issues, and relationship issues to align their lives with their values for greater satisfaction and success.
Therapy is the most successful when you understand what we’re doing and why. My approach is educational, compassionate, and meets you at a comfortable pace.
