Next Level Living
About Me
My name is Liz, and I am passionate about helping people live healthier, more balanced, and fulfilling lives. With a background spanning education, counseling, wellness, and personal growth, I have dedicated my life to supporting others as they navigate challenges, build resilience, and discover their own path forward.
I am the founder of Next Level Living and creator of Calmly Creative Publications, where I combine mental health concepts, creativity, and practical tools to support emotional well-being for children, families, and adults. Through writing, counseling, educational resources, and creative projects, I strive to make personal growth and emotional wellness both accessible and engaging.
Outside of my professional work, I prioritize living the values I encourage in others. I embrace an active lifestyle through strength training, hiking, yoga, walking, pickleball, basketball, and exploring the outdoors. I find joy in gardening, cooking, studying nutrition, photography, and capturing the beauty of nature and everyday life through a unique lens.
I am also an author and lifelong learner. Whether I am developing new resources, creating publications through Calmly Creative, working on Breaking Dams—a book designed to help readers explore and overcome the beliefs, experiences, and barriers that may be holding them back—or pursuing new interests and experiences, I remain committed to growth, curiosity, and continuous learning.
At the heart of everything I do is a belief that wellness is not a destination but an ongoing journey. My goal is to inspire and support others as they cultivate greater health, resilience, self compassion, and purpose in their own lives.
After all, life's a journey with no destination. 
My Approach
Along life's journey, we all encounter challenges, setbacks, transitions, and periods where we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the life we want to live. My goal is to help you develop the insight, skills, and confidence needed to navigate those moments with greater clarity, resilience, and self compassion.
I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, and the everyday struggles that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Whether you are navigating a specific concern or simply feeling that something isn't working the way you'd like it to, therapy can provide a space to explore, heal, and grow.
My approach is holistic and person centered, recognizing the connection between mind, body, and spirit. I believe that each person is unique, and there is no one size fits all path to healing. Together, we will identify what is getting in the way, build on your strengths, and create meaningful strategies that support lasting change.
I draw from a variety of evidence based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed interventions, and other mindfulness and wellness practices. My goal is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to help you create a life that feels more balanced, connected, and aligned with your values.
I also recognize that trauma comes in many forms. Some experiences are clearly life altering, while others may be less visible but still leave lasting emotional impacts. Regardless of how trauma shows up, healing is possible when it is met with understanding, compassion, and the right support.
Above all, I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, understood, accepted, and supported. Meaningful change begins with feeling safe enough to be authentic, explore difficult emotions, and move toward the life you want to create.
