Lizzy enjoys working with individuals and couples facing their own life's realities, changes, and challenges. She believes that the counseling relationship is uniquely safe and accepting, but that it also requires engagement, honesty, and hard work.  She asks her client(s) to be active participants, and to take responsibility as the expert on their own life.       

 

Having worked professionally for over 10 years in the areas of public health education, human development, and student services, Lizzy has seen the importance of looking at each person holistically.  She considers all areas of health, as well as the primacy of relationship and its impact on life fulfillment.

Lizzy has experience working with:

 

• Spouses of Sex Addicts and boundary issues in marriage
• Couples Counseling: Marital and Premarital (including domestic violence)
• Emotional Awareness, Communication, and Conflict Resolution
• Identity Development and Boundaries
• Acute and Chronic Illness and Pain
• Grief and Loss  (especially with children and adolescents)
• Depression and Anxiety
• Abuse and Trauma
• Eating Disorders and Self-Harming Behaviors
• Body Image and Self Esteem

 

Lizzy has a Masters of Arts in Counseling from Denver Seminary and a Public Health Education degree from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia.  She is certified in Prepare/Enrich marriage counseling and is a Nationally Certified Counselor.

 

Lizzy has been married for just over a year and has lived in the Denver area for over 5 years.  She loves Colorado, but also loves her Virginian roots.  When she is not working, Lizzy likes to read, hike, camp, swim, snowboard, but mostly hang out with her family and friends.
