I entered the mental health field because I’ve always found deep purpose in connecting with people and supporting their growth through healing. I provide a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to the individual needs of each client, beginning with a thoughtful and thorough assessment to guide treatment planning. My work with clients often centers on themes of building autonomy, empowerment, and hope. I approach therapy from a wellness model that views each client through a holistic lens, honoring all parts of who they are. In sessions, I lead with warmth, compassion, and authenticity. I bring humor into sessions when it feels natural and supportive, knowing that sometimes laughter can be a powerful part of healing. I utilize a trauma-informed perspective to support clients in processing grief, shame, and past experiences. I plan to pursue EMDR certification to further support trauma work.

Liv’s clinical approach draws from several modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and Person-Centered Therapy. Liv is particularly passionate about the mind-body connection and how mental and physical well-being intersect in the healing process. Liv has experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults across a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma-related disorders, and complex interpersonal issues.

Liv received her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Connecticut and her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Saint Joseph.

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, ‘Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.’ I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”
