Holistic, grounded therapy for women navigating life's most tender seasons.
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.
My work is holistic, grounded, and authentic. I draw from Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, and Somatic practices with a trauma-informed lens, which means we work with both your mind and your body in the context of your story, not just what's happening on the surface.
That somatic attunement is something I've gathered after a decade of teaching Pilates, a practice that continues to inform how I understand what the body holds.
My Therapeutic Approach
I draw from what fits you, not a rigid method. Every client brings a unique story, and our work together will reflect that.
What I Help With
For those navigating life's most vulnerable and transformative experiences. Available in-person in Atlanta or virtually throughout Georgia.
Compassionate, nonjudgmental support for the unique pressures, transitions, and experiences that shape women's lives, at any age.
Specialized support through pregnancy, prenatal care, infertility, and the postpartum period, including anxiety, depression, and identity shifts.
Healing your relationship with food and your body through a body-centered, trauma-informed lens without judgment.
Navigating the complexity of love, partnership, and connection, through conflict, intimacy, or life transitions together.
Gentle, body-aware trauma processing that honors your pace and your story, through somatic and narrative approaches.
Support through major life changes, self-esteem struggles, and the chronic stress that comes with being a woman in the world today.
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 our 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 may no longer be serving you. My goal is to help you integrate past trauma or experience into something manageable and empowering.
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
Two 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.
A virtual support group for women in Georgia who are in recovery and ready to go deeper, beyond stabilization and into the fuller work of building a life. This group holds space for the long haul: maintaining progress, navigating setbacks, and exploring who you are when the eating disorder no longer defines you.
Come as you are. Recovery is a practice worth sustaining.

A free consultation is a simple phone call where we can chat about what brings you to me, how I can be helpful, and gives you a chance to decide if we feel like a fit before diving into a full session.
Yes! I see clients in-person at my Atlanta office and virtually via telehealth for clients throughout Georgia.
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.
I draw from an eclectic blend of approaches tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. This integrative style allows us to explore the roots of patterns through an attachment lens, process emotions held in the body, and build practical, forward-looking solutions, all within a warm, person-centered relationship.
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.
I am working toward my LPC licensure and currently hold my NCC (National Certified Counselor). I practice under the supervision of Carrie Gensler, LPC and the direction of Kristen Faircloth, LPC.
