Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn't mean you can, should or need to do it alone. - Lisa Olivera. Together we can build a safe and collaborative space that fosters growth. Life can be messy, even demanding; we will have hard days; and that’s okay. I approach therapy with authenticity, compassion, and humor. Each individual requires a personalized therapeutic approach and I aim to cultivate that early on in our time together. I use an integrative approach to therapy with a focus on Acceptance and Commitment therapy, decolonizing and anti-oppressive therapy modalities.

Find the Missing Peace! My philosophy is that emotional pain is a result of feeling broken and incomplete. Therefore, therapy focuses on healing what is broken and seeking what is missing. Generally, we hope that something outside of ourselves will fill the emptiness -- job, money, relationship, food... In my experience filling the emptiness is an inside job. Accepting yourself, with or without those things, allows us to heal and enjoy the "stuff" so much more. My approach is collaborative, working together to explore and remove the obstacles in the way of your happiness and peace of mind.

I believe that everyone is capable, whole, unique, and deserving of finding meaning in their lives. Because of this, I tailor my practice to fit each individual's specific needs.

I am also passionate about working with individuals who feel they are lacking control in life, whether that be difficulty in building meaningful relationships or issues with impulse control. Additionally, I enjoy working with couples that are focused on reducing conflict and increasing their strengths as a couple.
