In our work together, you will be the one guiding the direction of your healing. My role is to gently support you in uncovering the areas that hold the most significance for you, helping you process what arises in a way that feels right for you. We will explore your inner world at a pace that allows for growth, healing, and transformation, without rushing or forcing anything. My approach is non-judgmental, rooted in empathy, and tailored to your unique needs and goals—there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution in therapy, only the space and support for you to heal in your own way.

Whether you’re navigating grief, seeking to improve relationships, or reclaiming your inner strength after trauma, I am here to help. Together, we will reconnect you with your inherent sense of wholeness, opening the door to greater self-acceptance, clarity, and peace. By integrating somatic awareness with emotional healing, we will address the root causes of your challenges and help you rediscover a life of fulfillment, confidence, and purpose. Healing is about remembering who you truly are and learning to live from that place of inner knowing and strength

My therapy style can be described as an archeological dig: We work with patience and curiosity to uncover treasures that help us understand where we’ve been and choose where to go next.  

I believe that each of us carries an innate sense of wholeness—a deep knowing of who we truly are, even beneath the layers of life’s challenges. However, overwhelming experiences can cloud this inner wisdom, leaving us feeling disconnected, lost, or uncertain of ourselves. When our sense of wholeness is obscured, it can show up in many ways—whether as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, or simply feeling "stuck" in life. For some, it might even manifest as grief, hopelessness, or overwhelming despair, sometimes leading to thoughts of suicide.

I deeply respect the courage it takes to seek support when things feel heavy. I work with adolescents (ages 11 and up) and adults to help navigate the complexities of relationships—with friends, partners, parents, siblings, adult children, or other important people in your life. Whether you're seeking to develop connection, confidence, or a sense of belonging, I’m here to support you. I also have a particular emphasis on grief and loss, and I consider it an honor to hold space for those who are grieving, offering a compassionate environment for healing.

My approach integrates advanced training in EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, combining a somatic, body-centered approach to trauma healing with deep empathy and practical solutions. I understand that healing is a process—a journey of unearthing, rediscovery, and integration—and I bring both specialized training and a wealth of life experience to the therapeutic relationship.

meet lillian

Lillian works with adults, teens and preteens (ages 11+) who are grieving because someone important has died or who are working to recover from other trauma.

She especially loves working with individuals who feel “stuck” because they have tried in all the ways they know how and are ready for some new skills and perspective.
