A BUFFY the Vampire Slayer star has revealed a brand new career – almost a decade after quitting Hollywood.
Eliza Dushku Palandjian‘s career took off when she landed the role as Faith in the smash-hit series in the 90s.

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.”
