Liz (Elizabeth) is a Resident in Counseling working under the supervision of Jenna Pagano, LMFT. Liz works with adolescents ages 12+ and adults from a person centered lens with unconditional acceptance of the client at the center.

Liz also understands that these changes take time, and values meeting the client where they are.

Throughout your work with Liz, you can expect to be given space to explore life’s challenges in a warm and accepting environment. ‘

Along with person centered theory, Liz uses techniques from CBT, DBT, ACT, relational- cultural theory, and attachment theory.
Liz enjoys incorporating humor, art, and nature walks into therapy depending on the clients needs and interests.

In therapy, Liz will work with you to address symptoms of anxiety, depression and relational challenges, as well as concerns around sex and gender, grief, and life transitions.
As a sibling to someone on the autism spectrum, Liz also enjoys working with parents and siblings of children or adults on spectrum.

In your first session with Liz she will introduce herself and review confidentiality and the therapeutic process. Liz will discuss your presenting concerns and ask questions about your background to get a better idea of your context.
