Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

Hi, I’m Liz, a therapist who believes healing starts with feeling truly seen and heard. My approach is gentle but direct, and I focus on what’s actually working in your life while finding small, realistic steps toward change. Many of the people I work with are women navigating grief, anxiety, trauma, or the challenges of motherhood. I also understand that sometimes we’re not trying to thrive , we’re just trying to survive in a world that can feel heavy and unpredictable. My goal is to help you make sense of that survival mode, find steadiness within it, and slowly reconnect with you again.

With a strong foundation in both social work and law enforcement, I bring a compassionate, grounded, and practical perspective to therapy. I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Work and spent eight years in law enforcement, primarily working patrol. This experience gave me the opportunity to support individuals and families during some of the most challenging and vulnerable moments of their lives.

Through my professional work—and my own lived experiences with critical and traumatic incidents—I developed a deep commitment to helping others heal from trauma. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and work with individuals navigating life’s challenges, processing difficult past experiences, and building resilience for the future.

My approach blends clinical expertise with real-world understanding to create a space that is supportive, nonjudgmental, and genuine. I strive to ensure clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process. Whether you are working through trauma, adjusting to life transitions, or seeking healthier coping strategies, I aim to help you gain clarity, strengthen your inner resources, and move forward with confidence. I’m here to support you every step of the way on your path toward healing and personal growth.

I help you make sense of the patterns that keep you feeling stuck and find practical strategies that actually fit your life. My style is warm, honest, and collaborative, with a balance of reflection and action. Together, we’ll get clear on what’s getting in the way and create a path forward that feels realistic, sustainable, and meaningful for you.

As a Latina mother and spouse in a mixed race family, I deeply value the complexity of identity, culture, and relationships, and I understand how these layers shape the challenges we face. My background spans community mental health, inpatient psychiatry, integrated primary care, and private practice, and I’ve worked with people across the lifespan, from children in school based therapy to older adults living with Alzheimer’s and the families who love them. Wherever you are in life, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Hello, and welcome. As a National Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. I believe counseling is a collaborative process built on trust, empathy, and genuine connection, and I strive to help each client feel heard, valued, and empowered throughout their journey.

I have experience supporting individuals facing anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and emotional difficulties while helping clients build resilience, improve emotional wellness, and gain deeper self-understanding.

I believe that being seen, heard, and fully accepted is what fosters true connection—not just with others, but with yourself. My goal is to welcome you exactly as you are, no matter what burdens or dilemmas you’re carrying.

My hope is to empower you to embrace your unique journey so you can live, love, and fully enjoy the life ahead of you.

Females with co-occurring disorders in a controlled environment. I moved to working with an exclusive male population, where I assisted them to gain skills to overcome life's difficulties. As I, myself, gained skills and knowledge I moved into working with those within my community seeking services. I helped people seeking individual services as well as leading group counseling sessions which has always been a part of my therapeutic styles.

Working with competency restoration, probation and parolees gave me a guided sense of purpose and a knowledge of the law.

I have also worked with trauma informed care, military and those seeking a better way of life. I have worked with individuals within the TDCJ system. In my journey I have worked with those that deal with unforeseen life challenges, whether through a life choice or an unimaginable circumstance. My focus has always been on helping.
