COACH + THERAPIST + WRITER
We all inherit stories. Some help us become who we are. Others ask us to become someone we're not. My work is about learning the difference—and finding the courage to rewrite what no longer fits.
There comes a point when the life you've built no longer feels like the life you want to keep living.
Maybe you've spent years being the responsible one. The caretaker. The eldest daughter. The woman everyone could count on. Maybe you've followed the script you were handed, only to realize you're ready to write a different one.
That's the work I care most about.
I'm Lizzy —a therapist, writer, and coach helping women rewrite the stories they've inherited so they can build lives that feel more intentional, more honest, and more like their own. My work is about deciding what parts of your story still belong—and having the courage to rewrite the rest.
Whether you're navigating a waiting season, untangling family roles, rebuilding your identity after change, or simply wondering who you're becoming, I hope you'll find something here that reminds you you're not alone.

Ways We Can Work Together
1:1 Therapy
For California residents seeking individual therapy, I offer a space to process anxiety, life transitions, family dynamics, grief, relationship challenges, and the emotional weight of carrying more than you've had to. Together, we'll explore your story with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based care while helping you build a life that feels more aligned with who you are. All sessions are virtual, and I accept some insurance. Use the form below to learn more.
Journal Groups
My guided journal groups bring women together to reflect, write, and grow in community. Through thoughtful prompts and meaningful conversations, we explore identity, waiting seasons, perfectionism, inherited family roles, and the stories we're ready to rewrite. Cohorts open several times a year.
Subscribe to The Rewrite Room
My Substack is where I share essays, reflections, journal prompts, and conversations about identity, healing, relationships, family, and the lifelong process of becoming. Think of it as a place to return to whenever you need words for what you're carrying—or permission to imagine a different future. All essays are free; the paid tier offers additional downloadable resources and a free virtual group once a month.
Books
My poetry collection, everything in its season, explores mental health, family, grief, love, and self-discovery through the changing seasons of life. My writing is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and recognize parts of your own story within the pages. Also available in Spanish.

My debut book everything in its season is a poetry collection that highlights the natural ebb and flow of life’s seasons. Inspired by her own mental health journey and reconnection to herself, the collection touches on themes of anxiety, depression, family, friendship, love, self-discovery, and personal growth. Through poems and lyrical essays, Lizzy invites you to join her as she explores how her past and present have shaped her view of what it means to build a meaningful life; even if it does not look like everyone else’s.
