I see adolescents and adults who suffer with various issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, OCD, mood disorders, relationship problems, as well as substance abuse and addiction. I believe in the good nature of most people and the need to grow and learn from our life experiences. At times in our life, it becomes important to stop and recognize our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that can interfere with who we want to be and hope to become. In my practice, I utilize an array of treatment modalities that will help you to make better decisions for yourself, your partner and/or your family.

I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the most crucial component in ensuring that the client can make significant changes in their life. Everyone deserves to discuss their personal issues in an environment that provides safety, validation, compassion, and empathy. I utilize a psychodynamic approach when working with clients because I feel that our environments shape who we are. During different developmental periods in our life, there can be disruptions that cause future heartache, some which may need to be uncovered. I offer virtual sessions as well as in person sessions.

Hi, I'm Lisa! I believe that therapy should be a safe space for you to be yourself. Therapy should also be inclusive and relevant to your own unique identity and background. I understand that everyone enters therapy at different levels of readiness and recognizing this fact is crucial in building a trusting & therapeutic relationship with you. I meet my clients where they are, gradually leading you through the therapeutic process. I employ a high level of support, respect, and empathy with all of my clients while providing a non-judgmental environment so that you always feel heard and validated.

The counseling relationship provides a unique opportunity to partner with a caring professional to examine life events together in a safe environment, generate personal insight/awareness and identify areas for empowered change. We all have the greatest potential for growth when we understand our thoughts, feelings, behaviors and the critical themes in our individual stories. This process allows us to navigate through adversity toward authentic meaning and purpose.

Are you tired of experiencing the same patterns and want to heal at the root of your symptoms? I specialize in treating trauma, addictions, and self esteem issues - in particularly with women and teenagers. When my clients first come in, their lives are overrun by fear and insecurities. They carry around deep shame about who they are and never feel quite “good enough”. They want to be confident and heal the patterns that are holding them back but do not know where to start.

I work with adolescents and adults as individuals, couples, and families, with issues such as addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, panic attacks, impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, intimacy struggles, and existential crises. People inherently want to feel at peace, safe, secure, understood, and cared about .

I love working with all different types of clients, and I find that I learn from those that I work with. I love working with anyone who wants to make a change or achieve a goal.

My ideal client is someone who understands the areas of their life that need improvement. They have an idea of potential treatment goals for therapy and is open to the process. Additionally, they believe there are many ways to address previous traumas and can identify preferences for treatment. For example, a client who is open to incorporating journaling, meditation, or other holistic practices in addition to traditional talk therapy. My ideal client intentionally commits to the therapeutic process and is open to collaboration in the therapeutic space.
