She played the iconic character in the supernatural drama for seven years until its cancellation in 2003.

The role saw the star go onto land other high-profile gigs such as Bull, Eloise, Jane Wants A Boyfriend and Bring It On!

However, Eliza has revealed to fans she’s now a therapist in a drastic career change, nearly 10 years after quitting Hollywood.

The 43-year-old went back to school and successfully earned her undergraduate degree and completed the requirements for a masters degree in clinical mental health and counselling.

With her degree now in psychedelic-assisted therapy, Eliza and her husband Peter Palandjian have been funding trials in that area of health.

The mum-of-two also relocated back to Boston, the city she was born in after her abrupt departure from LA.

Eliza hasn’t acted since she accused her Bull co-star Michael Weatherly of sexual harassment in 2017.

Following the claims, which Weatherly denies, the star was written off the show and told plans to include her a full cast member had been cancelled.

Eliza was later paid a confidential settlement reported to be $9.5million by Bull’s network CBS.

Speaking previously about the ordeal, she said she was promised a “six-year” contract to play her character J.P. Nunnelly, a criminal defense lawyer.

Eliza alleged: “However, in my first week on my new job, I found myself the brunt of crude, sexualized, and lude verbal assault [of Michael Weatherly].

“I suffered near constant sexual harassment from my co-star.”
