Hello. My name is Liz, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Washington. I have been practicing as a therapist since 2016. I have experience working with clients ages 5 to 85. I utilize a client-centered, relational approach to therapy.

I offer individual therapy for adults and teenagers! I specialize in neurodevelopmental conditions (like autism, ADHD, learning disabilities), and executive functioning skills- focusing, managing emotions, problem solving, and more. I also love working with general mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, existential crises, and life transitions!

I have ten years of experience in mental healthcare, and have an M.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Seattle University.

I take a personalized approach to care, recognizing that mental health is influenced by many factors, including life experiences, relationships, work stress, sleep, physical health, and daily functioning. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their symptoms, identify treatment goals, and develop a plan that supports stability, clarity, and improved quality of life.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist based in Seattle, originally from Texas. My journey into therapy began when I was 16 and started attending counseling for my own struggles. What began as a path toward personal healing quickly turned into a deep curiosity about the therapeutic process itself — I became fascinated by how therapy worked and what it could mean to support others in their own growth. From that point on, I was all in. I studied psychology in every way I could, which eventually led me to move to Seattle in 2018 to pursue my undergraduate degree in the field.

Along the way, I developed a strong interest in how people grow and change across their lifespans — especially through the lens of attachment, family dynamics, and the neuroscience behind emotion and behavior. These early interests laid the foundation for my graduate studies in Marriage and Family Therapy, where I deepened my understanding of how relationships and systems shape who we are.

I believe therapy should feel safe, human, and supportive—not cold or clinical. I’m a licensed therapist who genuinely cares about the people I work with, and I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a problem to fix. Whether you’re coming in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected in your relationship, or unsure where to start, you’re welcome here exactly as you are. I work with teens (13+) and adults, individuals and couples, and I value honesty, compassion, and real connection in the therapy space. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your growth.
