Lillie is particularly passionate about treating PTSD, trauma, substance use disorders, anxiety, and depression. She understands how these challenges can impact daily life and works closely with clients to uncover underlying causes while developing personalized treatment plans. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Lillie helps clients build healthy coping skills and regain a sense of control.

In addition to her work with individuals, Lillie has specialized experience supporting first responders, military personnel, and veterans, understanding the unique stressors they face. She also serves children and adolescents, offering age-appropriate therapy to address emotional and behavioral challenges.

Outside of her professional life, Lillie is an avid runner, having participated in the Los Angeles and Malibu marathons, numerous half-marathons, 10Ks, and 5Ks. She also loves reading both fiction and nonfiction, often finishing one to two books each month, which broadens her perspective and enriches her work as a therapist.
