Meet Livier

I have experience working with immigrants, survivors of childhood trauma, and domestic violence survivors. My approach reflects a compassionate awareness of each person's unique needs and experiences. My primary role is to provide a safe, caring, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, seen, and valued and to accept you just as you are right now. I believe in the inherent worth of every human and incorporate an "all are welcome" approach to my therapy practice. With considerate collaboration, I will support you in discovering what brings meaning and healing to your life.
