"When I first started talking to Liz, I was in the process of ending a relationship that had gone on far too long, and I had lost many of the parts of myself I had sworn I would never let go of. I was in a place where advice wasn’t really something I wanted, or could listen to - especially since I had already experienced what it felt like to go to a psychologist, and that setting never made me feel comfortable.

But Liz was completely different. Instead of sitting there listening to me for an hour, or asking about my inner child while scribbling notes and nodding, she talked to me like I was an old friend. She took the time to learn about me, and then presented answers to my problems in the form of tools. She didn’t tell me how to change, or how to move on. She told me how to access the tools I already had inside me, to make my own choices about how I let the world and the people in it affect me. She showed me the door to my own recovery, but never pushed me - I entered the doors myself.

I think that Liz’s form of helping me to help myself is what sets her aside from any other counselor I’ve ever encountered. She helped me to wake up to the power I already had within me, and for that I’m forever thankful! "

"Liz is an extraordinary person! I’ve been lucky enough to have known her for many years, and in all that time, she’s provided me with sage advice, empathetic understanding, and an uncanny gift to be able to cut through the mist that often clouds a person’s perception and prevents us from getting to the root of the problem. On more than one occasion her guidance has helped me see the truth in a situation, and by doing so, has allowed me to discover the tools within myself to remedy the problems at hand. Mostly, though, I truly feel that she cares about me, and my well-being. That, in turn, fosters trust and honesty... qualities I need in a counselor, and a friend. "

"Liz is an amazing woman. She is more than just a coach - she is a role model. I know she genuinely cares about me, my thoughts, and my life. She doesn't even have to say it. You can feel her compassion just by being around her. You can hear it in her voice. She makes me feel like I am her only priority when we are talking with each other. Liz gently gives advice after listening to you one-hundred percent. Her advice comes not only from logic, but also from a place of genuine empathy. Her words are empowering. I've come to her for advice on many occasions, and she not only advises me wisely, she has such faith that I can do it, even when it seems difficult, that I'm not afraid to make those changes. I can't help but have faith in myself that I can make the positive changes. Liz goes beyond sympathy into empathy. She goes beyond encouragement into empowerment."
