About Lia
Expertise
Since 2012, I have been helping my clients navigate life's challenges. I have worked with clients negatively impacted by anger, anxiety, behavioral issues, chronic illness, depression, difficult life transitions, family conflict, grief, obsessions/compulsions, peer relationships, school issues, self-esteem, stress, and trauma Many of my clients have experienced sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence/intimate partner violence, and/or witnessed violence in their family or community.
Services
I offer supportive telehealth sessions (as well as in-person sessions) to pre-teens, teens, and adults. I utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities, including CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy), TF-CBT (Trauma Focused CBT), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), Integrative, and Person-Centered.
Approach
As a trauma-informed therapist, I help my clients to understand their trauma responses and collaboratively develop strategies to process and transform them. I have an integrative approach which allows me to blend different but complimentary approaches. When appropriate, I like using the systems theory which allows me to look beyond just my client, to understand their issues in context. This theory views a person's problems not solely as internal issues, but as arising from their interactions within the wider systems of their life.
