HI, I AM LIZ,
I’m a therapist and curator of stories. I spent the entirety of my formational years overseas soaking in cultures. I came away with the importance of relationships imprinted on my heart.
Therapy is first and foremost a relationship. We are all lonely, weary travelers on this earth. Therapy provides a place for us to remember our stories in the presence of a caring witness. It is a place for us to reframe our brokenness into beauty and to enter into a vulnerability that touches the deepest parts of our longings.
I practice from an Attachment-focused, narrative, relational perspective.
Relational
Humans need relationships. We are designed for vulnerable intimacy and community. The therapeutic relationship is a vessel for us to experience connection.
Healing Our Stories
We are all impacted by harmful or wounding events that have impacted our stories. On the other side of the trauma is usually a deep longing that has remained untouched. Our longings are one of the truest things about us. Exploring these themes provides a path to healing.
