“Lily’s strengths include self-awareness, openness, genuine presence, commitment, creativity, and care, all of which help her to consistently offer the core conditions of therapy and cultivate meaningful collaborative relationships with her clients and colleagues. Her capacity to self-reflect and welcome alternative perspectives and feedback gives me confidence in her ongoing development as a clinician as I observe her expanding upon existing strengths and gaining insight, training, education, and experience along her growing edges.
Lily demonstrates acute awareness as she thoughtfully supports clients through crises while thoroughly addressing safety concerns. Her ability to respond to challenges and facilitate difficult conversations allows her to both tend to her clients’ interpersonal needs and fulfill her legal and ethical responsibilities. Lily maintains healthy boundaries while providing unwavering care and beneficence to her clients.
Importantly, Lily embodies a commitment to identifying and exploring issues of diversity, biases, and power dynamics and their impact on clients, colleagues, and the communities we serve. In this area, I gain inspiration through witnessing her journey as a humble, engaged, sturdy, curious learner. To me, Lily exemplifies and offers so much of what I feel our community needs in mental health professionals now and going forward.”

“Before therapy, I was dealing with a lot of depression and anxiety. Most of my issues were regarding relationships, attachment issues, and anxiety with my career, all of which stemmed from self-esteem issues. While I was aware of many of the issues I was facing and knew that I was deeply unhappy, I didn't know how to overcome these problems. Coming out of a horrible breakup and dealing with the anxieties of a new relationship was when I came to meet Lily.
Lily provided a lot of support and was someone I could trust to listen without judgment and help me navigate my issues. She provided me with many tools that I could use between sessions and sometimes sent me resources throughout the week that she thought I might find useful. Working with Lily, I learned that therapy is about unlearning yourself to make room for the person you want to be. It is about unlearning the mindset and habits that we learned in our youth but no longer serve us in the present.
I have also learned through therapy that life will always have its challenges but we can gain the skills, mindset, and resilience to overcome them. While I still deal with anxious and insecure thoughts, I am no longer consumed by them and feel empowered to take charge of my life. Like having a healthy immune system to deal with physical illnesses, my time with Lily has given me a healthy mental immune system to deal with my anxiety and depression and raise my self-esteem.”
