Report
Liz has been a close colleague of mine for the past 8 years. She is an insightful and empathic clinician who is particularly well suited to working with clients who have experienced trauma. Liz is warm, engaged, and calming. She is highly skilled and is trained in a variety of modalities, allowing her to better meet her clients' diverse needs. Liz is an excellent clinician and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
