Hi! I am Lizet (she/her), a first-generation Latina college graduate and a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate (Supervised by Yolanda Swope). The thought of starting therapy can be daunting, and I want you to know that YOU are courageous for taking this step to learn more about it. Therapy can be a healing journey where you may become more familiar with yourself and try out different approaches outside of your comfort zone to see the changes that you want to make.
As your counselor, I will be committed to listening to you non-judgmentally and walking along your side in your mental health journey. In therapy, I believe that YOU are the expert in your life. Since everyone has unique goals and needs, I strive to take a customized and collaborative approach to therapy with my clients to meet them where they are in life. This could look like challenging your inner critic, acknowledging uncomfortable or painful emotions, talking about your past experiences, setting boundaries, or expanding your coping skill toolbox.
My goal is to create a confidential space for YOU to feel seen, heard, and respected. I also have experience supporting college students, young adults, and Spanish-speaking clients working through anxiety, depression, trauma, career readiness, and relationship issues. Some evidenced-based therapy approaches that I am familiar with include person-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). If you’re ready to take the next step in your mental health journey, you can contact me for a 15-minute complimentary consultation to find out whether I am the right fit for you. I look forward to connecting with you!

Fun facts: I am a Native Houstonian, and I have two dogs. When I am not in session, you can find me biking, camping, traveling, baking, or watching a movie.
