In-person and online trauma-informed therapy based in Denver, Colorado.
About Liz
Hello and welcome! I’m a queer, neurodivergent therapist who has been described by others as “punk rock meets Mother Goose.” I specialize in complex and single event trauma, dissociation, attachment, mood disorders, and navigating life with late-diagnosed ADHD and autism. In-depth experiential work to address longstanding emotional patterns is especially my jam. My work is heavily informed by queer & feminist theory, disability justice, liberation psychology, and lived experience. For folks curious about my specific modalities, I use parts/inner child work, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and narrative therapy.
Curiosity, humor, and compassion are central to my approach to sessions. We are, after all, two people living in a messy reality just trying to figure it out together, 50-60 minutes at a time. Screaming, crying, quietly lying on the floor to contemplate life itself - all of it is welcome here.
I offer both in-person and online appointments and work exclusively with adults 18+ living in Colorado. While I am currently not taking new clients, I have a waitlist available for several spots opening up starting the first week of February 2025. If you are interested in working with me, please submit a contact form letting me know you’d like to be added to the waitlist here. I will start scheduling consultation calls the last 2 weeks of January.
