Hello,
I'm Liberty Flidais
AMFT #134851
Relating with people and witnessing growth is what I love most. It is my honor to support you when you’re feeling stressed out, anxious, invisible or depleted. I hold a somatic (body-based) perspective that is empathetic, patient, and curious. I am receptive to that which naturally emerges through thoughts, emotions, sensations, images, and memories in each session. I approach personal narratives with openness & compassion.
