Healing that's designed to help you embody your true self.
Welcome to Fruitea Therapy!
In many cultures, sharing tea and fruit is how we show love, settle disputes, and tell our stories. At Fruitea Therapy, I believe every person is a unique blend of heritage, identity, and experience worth holding space for.
I’m Liz, and I welcome people of every background and identity from all walks of life who are ready to draw on their innate strengths and do the deep, transformative work of healing both body and spirit. I am an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist with Advanced Training in Somatic EMDR.
Therapy with me goes combines traditional dialogue with deep rooted belief shifting and somatic body attunement. Whether you are a cycle breaker, a seeker, a person navigating burnout, or someone unhooking from long standing self doubt, this is a space where every part of you is seen, valued, and supported.
What can embodying the best version of yourself look like?
✧ A Calmer Body
Expand your capacity to stand your ground when life feels shaky. Move out of hypervigilance and physical tension so you can teach your nervous system how to rest, settle, and feel safe.
✧ Confidence & Resilience
Break free from intrusive thought loops and chronic self doubt. Gain actionable tools to unhook from worst case scenarios, step out of burnout, and move forward with clarity.
Reclaim your identity outside of productivity, performance, or past trauma. Unlearn the scripts handed to you and give yourself full permission to author your own story.
✧ Agency Over Your Story
✧ Grounded Presence
Learn to live fully in the present moment. Move through life’s shifts with intuitive trust, grounded resilience, and a deep sense of connection to yourself, your environment, and those around you.
✧ Relational Connection & Repair
