Liz is a military spouse and grew up in a military family. She grew up in El Paso Texas and currently lives in Norfolk Virginia with her husband and their 2 dogs and cat. Working with a couple and family has a big impact on helping people feel whole and fulfilled in relationships”
Liz is a relationship therapist that specializes in military marriage problems. She is a licensed clinical social worker, mental health therapist, and a military marriage counselor. At the time of this episode, she is also a Ph.D. Student in marriage and family therapy.
I’ve failed a lot at relationships before I was able to change the patterns in my relationships”
Prior to moving to Virginia, she worked at the Veterans Affairs Clinic in Pensacola FL. Having grown up in a military family and being a military spouse has motivated her to specialize in working with military members, veterans, and their families. She loves working with active duty military members and their families in order to prevent and heal marriage problems.
Being in a relationship is hard enough, and adding on military life adds a lot of unique challenges”
Before getting married, she had many painful relationships in the past, including losing 2 finance’s, which motivated her to learn as much about relationships as she could. She decided to switch from individual therapy to couple therapy because of the impact couples therapy can have on helping families and not just individuals.
Oftentimes we just need to get out of our own way to have the fulfilling relationships we want. This podcast is all about getting out of our own way using the science of love relationships."
