About Liza
I specialize in the full landscape of women's lives, from the physical and emotional shifts of the perinatal period, to eating and body image struggles at any age, to the complexity of love and partnership. Working with women is where my work resonates most deeply: many of my clients come in navigating perfectionism, feeling stretched too thin, quiet overwhelm, or the weight of holding a relationship together.
My approach is holistic, grounded, and authentic - shaped by a decade of teaching Pilates before I trained as a therapist, and by the evidence-based practices I draw from now: Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, and Somatic work through a trauma-informed lens. That means we tend to both your mind and your body in the context of your story, not just what is happening on the surface.
Therapy with me is more than short-term tools. My goal is long-term pattern change, helping you meet yourself more fully through deep connection with your inner world. You are not becoming someone new. You are coming home to who you already are.

How We Work Together
I draw from an eclectic blend of approaches tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. Some of my favorite techniques include the empty chair, somatic experiencing, exploring and reprocessing narratives, and examining your stories from a strengths-based lens. I love to ask: What helped?
A large piece of my work is reframing, seeing how you used coping skills that were adaptive in the short term, but no longer serve you. My overarching goal is to work myself out of being your therapist by providing you with a realistic roadmap to take with you out of the therapy room to feel confident in your emotions and well-being.
Your window of tolerance is the space where your nervous system feels regulated and at home. You can get curious, consider, and question. You feel safe and in control. You can let in love, joy, peace, and rationality. It's the space I aim to create in our relationship together, where you can use me as a safe attachment to explore on a deeper level.
Somatic experiencing resolves physical symptoms of trauma by releasing stored energy. It is used to calm an overactive nervous system or process a specific overwhelming event. This looks creative, it might be checking body cues seated, stretching, or physically moving our bodies through titration and pendulation.
The empty chair is a powerful experiential technique we use within your narrative to externalize stuck points or unresolved feelings. When the time comes, I'll guide you through it. The premise is role-playing with yourself, using an empty chair to represent the externalized piece, as a way to gain insight, clarity, and confidence.
Fees & Payment
Private pay keeps things simple, for both of us. It allows us to focus entirely on your goals and move at a pace that is right for you and only you. I understand private pay comes with budgeting conversations and I welcome them. Let's talk through the right frequency and rhythm of therapy for you.
Join a Lunch-Hour Group
Three intimate groups designed to fit into your day, held during the lunch hour so healing doesn't have to wait. Space is limited; reach out to chat about the right fit for you.
Each group is scheduled for 90 minutes to make space for deeper processing, though many members find the first hour is enough. Come as your day allows, and stay only as long as feels right.
A virtual support group for women in Georgia navigating their relationship with food, body image, or eating, ready to move beyond stabilization and into the fuller work of building a life. This group holds space for the long haul: maintaining progress, moving through setbacks, and discovering who you are outside of what once controlled you.
Come as you are. Recovery is a practice worth sustaining.

Restore Balance
1708 Peachtree Rd, Ste 200
Atlanta, GA
Some people benefit from having a safe place outside of their normal life to explore in therapy, while others love integrating therapy into their routine through virtual sessions. We can start wherever feels right, reassess, and always switch it up.
90-minute sessions are for anyone who wants more space for deeper processing. I often find that clients who process internally, or those moving through a particularly full season of life, benefit from the extra time to feel truly satisfied with where we land in a session.
That is entirely up to you. I love to talk through this in our first session and reassess as we go. Therapy is something we need to intentionally place into your schedule so it becomes something you want to continue. Weekly or biweekly are the most common starting points. Some clients also choose to alternate between in-person and virtual sessions to make therapy work best for their life.
I work with women of all ages, as well as couples. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, struggling with relationships or body image, or simply ready to do deeper work, you're welcome here.
A Release of Information is a form that authorizes me to consult with your other care providers, whether that's a psychiatrist, dietitian, OB, or another member of your team. If either of us feels it would be helpful to get everyone on the same page, I'll walk you through the process. Your care being consistent and intentional is my utmost priority.
