Liana brings her full self into the therapeutic space: thoughtful, affirming, culturally responsive, and occasionally a little quirky in a way that helps people feel human.

Her counseling framework centers the core concepts of Feminist Therapy and intersectionality. She takes an integrated and person-centered approach that prioritizes the therapeutic relationship and emphasizes client agency, internal wisdom, and lived experiences/expertise.

She often draws from multiple modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, Family Systems, EMDR, parts work, and various expressive/experiential interventions.

Marginalized and historically underrepresented adults (18+) are Liana’s passion.

She is especially attuned to the intersections of race, culture, queerness, family, and belonging, and is committed to creating safe spaces where clients feel seen—not just for their struggles, but for their strengths.

Liana enjoys working with individuals of color, adoptees, neurospicy folks, and members of the queer community. Liana also greatly enjoys working with other helping professionals, especially emerging mental health clinicians.
