Welcome to Conscious Counseling!
Don’t Just Cope. Heal.
Trauma-informed psychotherapy in Washington State for individuals ready for their next level of healing.
I currently have limited daytime availability. Please note, I am only working with women, queer, and gender-diverse folks at this time.
My mission
My mission is to offer a safe, inclusive, and neurodiversity-affirming space where self-aware individuals can resolve the deep-seated emotional patterns that hinder their personal growth. I believe that self-trust, wholeness, and inner-freedom are tangible states achieved through nervous system regulation and subconscious repatterning.
I specialize in helping women, queer, and non-binary individuals move past the exhaustion of disconnection from self and the pain of self-abandonment. My purpose is to guide clients toward integrity—the unshakeable alignment of their inner truth with their outward life.
About me
Why I do what I do
“The wound is the place where the light enters you.” – Rumi
At Conscious Counseling, I believe in the innate ability to change, heal and grow; to become awake to our true selves and our most profound potential. Despite the popularity of traditional talk therapies, I tend to take a different approach. Instead of trying to “figure things out” or learn more coping skills, I focus on accelerated trauma-resolution techniques, offering my clients opportunities for deep healing in their bodies & emotions, integrating past experiences, while cultivating acceptance and compassion within themselves.
Are you ready to heal the roots of your struggles?
Perhaps you are person who has done years of personal growth work but still feels emotionally reactive in certain moments. You might be functioning well externally while privately carrying old emotional burdens. You are committed to healing, yet you feel drained by patterns you can’t seem to break. You deserve a solution beyond coping.
We may be a good fit if you:
- Are a person who values mindfulness, spirituality, meditation, or contemplative practices as part of their healing journey but feel emotionally stuck
- Are seeking deeper embodied wisdom because you understand your patterns intellectually, but your nervous system hasn’t fully caught up
- Desire therapy that can include exploration of meaning, intuition, self-trust, and spiritual integration and crave a gentler, more integrated way of healing
My Background
With over 15 years in the helping profession, my approach blends rigorous clinical training with powerful, accelerated trauma resolution methods. I hold a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (M.Ed.) and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
My clinical focus is anchored in Body-Based Resolution, specializing in:
- Lifespan Integration (LI)
- Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/Tapping) & Matrix Reimprinting (MR)
- Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
- Applied Polyvagal Theory & Somatic Therapy
While my foundational training includes models like Motivational Interviewing, ACT, CBT/DBT, and Mindfulness, I use these as secondary support for the deep, transformative work of subconscious repatterning. My background also includes certification as a Reiki Master, bringing a unique, informed perspective on emotional flow and holistic well-being to our clinical work.

My Style
My style is built on creating a regulated, safe, and collaborative space for true transformation. As a depth-oriented therapist, I meet you with warmth, deep listening, and unconditional presence, focusing solely on facilitating profound, lasting change.
In session, we focus intensely on integration and resolution:
- Authentic Partnership: We may sit in silence to breathe and anchor presence, or we may need to explore difficult emotional terrain. You can count on honesty and absolute commitment to your process as we move you toward self-trust and wholeness.
- Somatic Anchoring: I utilize Applied Polyvagal Theory to maintain a calm, regulated relational field. This grounded presence supports your nervous system as we safely explore goals, build a therapeutic relationship, and process and release old trauma, making deep change possible.
- Targeted Resolution: We utilize the focused, accelerated protocols of Lifespan Integration (LI), EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), and Matrix Reimprinting (MR) to go beyond talk therapy. We move directly to neutralize the emotional charge and re-pattern the subconscious learnings & beliefs that drive your current struggles.

Frequently asked questions
What to know about counseling sessions.
How can you help me with Trauma?
Lizz provides a variety of trauma-resolution techniques to help you resolve the impact of traumatic events, whether single events or complex trauma over time.
Lizz specializes, body-based trauma resolution techniques—all grounded in Applied Polyvagal Theory to ensure nervous system stability. She target the root cause of your emotional patterns:
* EFT/Tapping & Matrix Reimprinting (MR): Used for Subconscious Repatterning to rapidly resolve the emotional charge and deeply held belief patterns that fuel difficulty in a variety of areas of life such as relationships, work, and health.
* Lifespan Integration (LI): Gently re-orients your nervous system to the present, integrating past memories so they no longer hijack your current-day ability to protect your physical and psychological space.This focused work moves you from chronic reactivity to self-trust, wholeness, and lasting inner-freedom.
What is KAP and is it safe?
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a legal modality that pairs ketamine treatment with dedicated psychotherapy sessions for more deeper therapy, more frequent breakthroughs and better clinical outcomes.
Ketamine is a legal, safe, and effective medicine used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety and PTSD. Ketamine has rapidly-acting antidepressant and mood-enhancing effects, which can begin to take effect within 1-2 hrs. after treatment and last for up to 2 weeks. It works by blocking the brain’s NMDA receptors as well as by stimulating AMPA receptors, which are thought to help form new synaptic connections and boost neural circuits that regulate stress and mood.
Ketamine has also been shown to enhance overall neuroplasticity for lasting symptom improvement.
Ketamine can be administered in a variety of ways, including IV infusion, intramuscular injection, via nasal spray and using sublingual lozenges. In my work with Journey Clinical we only use the sublingual lozenge form.
How do I schedule an appointment?
For therapy to be effective, it needs to be a mutually good fit. You will first fill out the “Interest Form,” book a 20 Minute Consultation Call, and assuming it is a good fit, at the end of that call, Lizz will prompt you to set up your patient portal through Headway (administrative partner) or through Sessions Health (if using Optum/United Healthcare insurance), where you will schedule your Intake Session from there.
How much do sessions cost? Do you accept insurance?
For self-pay, sessions are $150 per 55 minutes, due at the time of service. Lizz may be able to provide out-of-network benefits and accept payment through Thrizer, a service to help submit Superbills to your insurance for partial or full reimbursement.
Lizz is currently accepting new clients with Premera/Blue Cross and Optum/UnitedHealth for Individual Therapy sessions. When using insurance, please check with your insurance company directly regarding what you will be responsible for paying including co-pays, deductibles, and/or co-insurance. Lizz does not handle billing directly and cannot answer any questions about your coverage or costs, but once you set up a patient account, you will be provide a cost-estimate at that time.
What can I expect from the first session?
The first session is a 60 minute Intake session designed to establish our relationship, gather information about your primary concerns and history, and discuss what you hope to gain from therapy. This is not a typical therapy session but is a time to clarify expectations, assess your needs, and begin to create a plan for your work together.
How do I know if it’s a good fit?
Finding a good therapist can be daunting! Sometimes it takes a few tries to find the right person. Someone that you feel comfortable with and who helps you in the way you are wanting or needing. Don’t ever be afraid to ask for a new therapist! It is encouraged that all clients continually assess if the relationship is still serving their needs.
Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide if a therapist is a good fit for you. This begins with the Consultation Call and the Intake Session. Ask the questions that matter to you. Get a sense of the therapist’s style and approach. After the first 3-4 sessions, you can check in and decide if it feels like a good fit to keep going. If not, Lizz will do her best to provide you support in finding a new therapist to transition care.
What are your hours of availability?
Lizz sees clients for sessions Tuesday through Thursday from 9 am-5 pm. She is available by text or email on Mondays and Friday during normal business hours as well.
