Liz brings an authenticity to our sessions that makes me feel like I'm catching up with a friend
- the kind of friend who always knows how to approach any situation. Even when I begin a session with "Liz, I need to open up a can of worms", she's ready to dive in and work through it together. As we talk, Liz brings her own experiences and stories into our conversations, offering a comforting reminder that she's been there, gets it, and knows what I'm going through
Giving therapy another shot is one of the best decisions I've ever made
I never used to believe it when friends would say "therapy changed my life". But after starting therapy with Liz, I know firsthand that therapy can certainly change your life for the better.
Her personality is one of compassion and warmth, mixed with humor and candor. She has more than once called bullshit on something I was saying- but she was most certainly right! She also holds a space where vulnerability is celebrated and honored, as a way to really get to the crux of issues or challenges. It is easy to be open and vulnerable with her, and also to laugh and have fun. She shows up in the space in the same way she asks us as clients- present, authentic, open, ready to get to work.
Liz makes it easy to want to show up- both for sessions and for myself
One thing I love about Liz is that she always brings her best self to every session.
I know I can walk in with anything I'd like to share or need help with and she'll be there to work it through with me. It's a really special thing to have this kind of trust with a provider, and one of the many reasons I plan to continue working with her for a long time.
