Meet Lizzie

Hello! I am a Professional Counselor Associate. I received my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Oregon State University. I identify as a biracial, cisgender, heterosexual, able-bodied female. I prefer she/her/hers pronouns.

Originally, I am from Colorado. I moved to Oregon ten years ago to pursue a new adventure. I love the outdoors, my pets (Marlow, Moxie, and Nori), learning and growing, and my most authentic and supportive people.

I chose mental health counseling after years of personal reflection and growth, shaped by my evolving values, beliefs, and goals. Therapy has been a transformative force in my own life, helping me navigate trauma, loss, and change. I hope to offer that same sense of safety and healing to others. My passion for social justice has always been a central part of who I am, and now, through humanistic and feminist-informed counseling, I have the privilege of creating change on an individual level.

Much of my clinical experience has centered on supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. I approach this work through a trauma-informed, anti-racist, feminist, and empowerment-based lens. I am deeply passionate about this population because violence disproportionately affects those who are already marginalized, and I believe survivors deserve space to process their trauma, reclaim their power, rewrite their narratives, and heal on their own terms.

This work is not only meaningful to me, it feels like a calling. Bearing witness to survivors’ resilience and supporting them in their healing journey reaffirms my dedication to creating a more compassionate, just world, one relationship at a time.

I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) recognized by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC). I am also a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and abide by their code of ethics.
