I believe that living in alignment with your authenticity and rewriting narratives that no longer serve you are integral to holistic healing. I enjoy working with clients who are open to exploring their healing journey with curiosity and creativity, this includes individuals, couples, and teens. I am especially drawn to working with those who identify as creatives, seekers, or who sense there’s more to who they are than the roles or expectations placed upon them.

I have a particular specialization in working with women and femmes who struggle with setting boundaries, processing grief, and exploring their identity. I’m curious about the stories our bodies carry, the ways we can release shame and reconnect with our power, which lends itself to working with LGBTQI2A clients, gender-diverse and sexually diverse communities as well as individuals healing from sexual trauma. I also support clients through all stages of their birth story, from family planning and early pregnancy loss to abortion, labor, and postpartum experiences.

I view creative expression as a vital part of healing and reclaiming one’s voice. Together, we’ll uncover and shift the patterns that hold you back, cultivating a deeper sense of self-trust, expression, and alignment with your values.

I approach my work collaboratively, firmly believing that my clients are the authorities on their own lives. My role is to create space for introspection, self-compassion, and understanding while honoring the ways systemic oppression and lived experiences shape what brings us to therapy. My theoretical orientation is grounded in liberation and narrative psychology, as well as strengths-based, person-centered, and expressive arts approaches

In our work together, I may incorporate expressive arts, mindfulness, and breathwork to support deeper connection and growth. This can include visual arts, movement, poetry, story, sound, tarot or oracle cards, ritual, and guided practices that invite grounding and empowerment. Whether through art-making, mindful presence, or the breath, my goal is to help clients uncover their resilience, creativity, and capacity for transformation.

I am also deeply passionate about embodied practices, particularly breathwork, and how stepping out of our minds and into our bodies can allow for movement and transformation.

I have nearly a decade of experience in the medical field, specifically at a reproductive health clinic. There, I was committed to working with low-income and culturally-diverse clients with an emphasis on prevention and empowerment. As part of graduate school, I provided brief bedside therapy at a hospital in San Francisco addressing clinical issues relating to trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use, pain management, adjustment to hospitalization, aging, and grief and loss.

I am a proud third-generation Oaklander and am passionate about giving back to and working with the community I am rooted in. Being a therapist is a sacred endeavor where I am able to guide someone on their journey of healing, self-discovery, and personal growth. This profession is characterized by continuous learning, both within and outside the counseling space. I constantly evolve and develop alongside my clients, making it a dynamic and rewarding experience.

I enjoy discovering the natural beauty of the Bay Area through new walking routes for my dog and finding serene bodies of water. My interests extend to exploring new cities, hunting for vintage clothing, reading, making Spotify playlists, listening to a plethora of podcasts, and cherishing quality time with my community of friends and family.

“Very happy. Liz is helping me to get to the heart of my issues while also giving me actionable guidance.”

“My first therapy experience was comfortable and so helpful! I opened up & Liz created an environment where I wanted to share. I look forward to working with Liz again in the future.”

“We really appreciate everything Liz has done for our child. She worked with both mom and dad while also keeping conversations confidential. Our child felt comfortable with her.”

“Liz is helping me a ton. I appreciate her and The Connective. Thank you.”
