When she was a college freshman, her then-boyfriend, a US marine, was deployed for an overseas tour. She developed anxiety when he left and soon began therapy. During her therapy journey, she realized she had experienced childhood trauma and depression. This helped Liz decide to practice clinically in her sophomore year and dive more deeply into understanding why we think, feel and behave the way we do.Experience<\/p><p class=\"preFade fadeIn\">Nearly two decades of experience as a seasoned social worker, working with adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults across different LA County Departments and positions.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe5c1ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fe5c1ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Experience\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f511b29 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f511b29\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1692582025877_627\" class=\"fe-block fe-block-0dabff077d12d4633802\"><div id=\"block-0dabff077d12d4633802\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\"><div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1692582025877_630\" class=\"sqs-block-content\"><div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1692582025877_629\" class=\"sqs-html-content\"><div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1692582025877_765\" class=\"fe-block fe-block-57abf872ada738f97177\"><div id=\"block-57abf872ada738f97177\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\"><div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1692582025877_767\" class=\"sqs-block-content\"><div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1692582025877_766\" class=\"sqs-html-content\"><p id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1692582025877_773\" class=\"preFade fadeIn\">Liz worked in the airline industry for a time before accepting a job as a case manager for Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS).
