Certified Brainspotter/Critical Incident Responder
Lizzie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s Degree in Social Work. She brings experience from a variety of settings, including Family Care, Inpatient and Outpatient services, and Comprehensive Community Services (CCS).
She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

At the heart of her work is a client-centered, strengths-based philosophy. Lizzie is committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel heard and empowered. She’s passionate about connecting clients with the outdoors, helping them build a sense of safety within themselves, and encouraging growth at their own pace.
Lizzie approaches every individual and family with a trauma-informed and diversity-informed lens. She strives not only to advocate for her clients—but to help them develop the confidence and tools to advocate for themselves.
