Liliana is a true leader in the mental health field. A trainer and supervisor of several evidence-based modalities that are trauma-informed and attachment based, such as EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Synergetic Play Therapy. Liliana has taken her education and her lived experience to create a therapeutic environment that fosters safety, curiosity, and healing. Whether she is working with her clients or supporting other clinicians in their professional development, Liliana is an example of true empathy and a wealth of knowledge. I've had the pleasure of speaking with her personally and professionally on several occasions. She was a guest on my podcast, The Turtle Shell Therapy Institute, where she shared her expertise in working with family and children as well as what to expect in a play therapy or family therapy session. I learn something new and helpful every time I listen to Liliana speak!

Liliana is an extremely knowledgeable and articulate speaker and presenter. I have had the pleasure of collaborating with her on multiple workshop presentations and I find her to be not only a competent, experienced, and responsive partner in presentations, but also a kind and compassionate colleague with a great sense of humor and a genuine warmth about her. I don’t partner with other professionals often and I have admittedly high standards when I do so – Liliana exceeds those standards consistently and I look forward to continued collaboration with her on an ongoing basis.

I have collaborated with Liliana on two projects involving supervision and training therapists in the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) model. In every encounter and conversation we have had, I have learned something new from her. Liliana offers informed and sensitive views that always invite reflection and integration. The course participants where we collaborated expressed feeling safe and supported and appreciated their didactic style, with simple and clarifying explanations. Personally, I appreciate her transparency, humor, and warmth, and I highly recommend her work.
