AMST is a mindfulness method to improve tolerence of intense emotions and teach appropriate expression of feelings.
I work with teens and adults individually and with family members as needed. I also work with couples. I have over twenty five years of experience treating many different kinds of problems including traumatic experiences, eating disorders, depression, anxiety and panic disorders, and relationship issues. My approach to therapy is to individually design a treatment plan that will best meet your specific concerns. This plan is collaboratively created with you. As you share your presenting concerns and history in the beginning stages of therapy, we get to know each other and together set goals for therapy.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and client-centered, utilizing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, and Mindfulness-based modalities.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker with over 18 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and families. I specialize in treating anxiety and depression. Life transitions such as a new career, a recent graduation, transition to college, or issues with relationships all increase stress, sometimes to uncomfortable levels. Therapy can help us understand how we are feeling and learn ways to manage our emotions. I take an open, empathetic, and non-judgmental stance on the issues my clients present during sessions.

I creatively integrate somatic and experiential therapies, mindfulness principles, and holistic practices to create an integrated, whole-person approach to healing and personal growth.
Hi, I'm Lisa! Are you someone with personal goals and professional aspirations, but imposter syndrome takes hold despite your efforts to achieve your dreams, and the fear of failure paralyzes you? Maybe you're like many of the folks I work with who ruminate over the past or anxiously plan their future to avoid mistakes and risk revealing their secret: You don't have it all together. You long for acceptance and deep connections, but instead, your relationships are fraught with drama and people who lack emotional maturity.

I see the mind/body connection as a central avenue to wellness and healing and will use techniques from Gestalt therapy, Somatic training, yoga, mindfulness, EMDR and more.
I understand it is not easy to come to therapy but talking to family and friends is entirely different then talk "therapy". This is especially true if you are depressed, anxious, grieved, struggling in your marriage or have trauma. Just take that first step and make the phone call and I will guide you through the rest. My clients are so surprised to find out what a relief it is to come to therapy and wonder why they waited so long. My seasoned listening skills and thought provoking questions will help you know yourself better and reach your goals. My style is light and warm yet focused on results. Growth is my specialty!

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.

When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.

Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
