Great to meet you!

Hi there! I'm Liza, a seasoned behavioral health professional with over 20 years of nursing experience, dual board certifications, and a Doctorate in Nursing Practice. I work with clients who may be navigating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, or trauma, and I am privileged to meet each person wherever they are in their mental health journey. My approach is rooted in compassion and a deep belief that feeling supported can make all the difference.

My approach to therapy

I believe that the best care happens when we work together, which is why collaboration is at the heart of everything I do. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you are free to express yourself openly and honestly, knowing that your privacy and dignity are always respected. Through a combination of medication management and brief therapy, we will build a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs and goals, empowering you to take an active and confident role in your own mental health.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will take time to talk through your current mental health concerns, your history, any medications you are taking or have taken, and any therapy approaches you have tried before. From there, we will begin mapping out your goals and a clear path forward together. Many of the clients I have worked with begin to notice real improvements in their symptoms and day-to-day functioning within one to two months, and I look forward to being part of that progress with you.

Thank you for taking the time to read my page, and for considering me to help you on your mental health journey.
