I'm Lizzie! I specialize in religious trauma, "church hurt," chronic illness, grief, anxiety, and medical trauma. With lived experience navigating disability and a background spanning both ministry and therapy, I hold a deep, nuanced appreciation for the ways faith, identity, body, and mental health intersect. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and aim to create welcoming spaces for all. Whether you are actively deconstructing, reconstructing, questioning, grieving, or building something totally new, therapy with me is a warm, direct, and shame-free space. Raised PC(USA) with years spent in Southern Baptist and Cooperative Baptist spaces, alongside holding a Master of Divinity and Master of Social Work, I understand firsthand both the beauty and the real harm faith communities can hold. My approach is relational, curious, and collaborative. I draw from CBT, ACT, narrative, and somatic therapies to help you process your story, unpack complex patterns, and build practical tools for growth and resilience on your own terms.

This is common with many of the folks I work with in therapy. My background includes lived experience of religious trauma, years of clinical training and experience working with survivors from various faith backgrounds, and my own journey of late-identified neurodivergence. In therapy, we'll work together to determine what type of support will be most helpful for you in healing from the impacts of religious harm and moving forward in a way that makes sense for you.

I was born into and raised within a high-control Christian fundamentalist religion, which I left as a teenager. Alongside my clinical training in religious trauma recovery, this lived experience gives me an understanding of how deeply religious systems can shape identity, relationships, belonging, and a person’s sense of what is safe or permissible. I work with adults who are leaving, have left, or are recognizing years later how earlier religious experiences continue to affect them. Therapy may include working through religious guilt and fear, shame, shunning and relational loss, purity culture, dissociation, existential anxiety or depression, and the complicated process of developing an identity when a previously prescribed one no longer fits. I also work with clients exploring meaning or spirituality after high-control religion, without any expectation that they adopt a new belief system or abandon spirituality altogether. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, multiculturally aware, and grounded in respect for client autonomy. I primarily draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, existential and narrative therapies, attachment-informed and parts-oriented perspectives, with CBT and DBT-informed skills incorporated when useful. I approach identity and lived experience through a multicultural and intersectional lens, with attention to the ways culture, race, gender, sexuality, disability, neurodivergence, family, socioeconomic context, and religion can intersect. As a trained art therapist, I can also incorporate art therapy, eco-art, and fiber arts for clients who find creative or nature-based approaches meaningful. These are entirely optional. Many of my clients prefer talk therapy, while others move between conversation, practical skills, and creative exploration. My aim is not to replace one set of prescribed answers with another. Therapy offers room to examine what was inherited, understand what continues to have an impact, and develop greater trust in your own values, choices, identity, and sources of meaning.
