As a licensed therapist with three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions, with a compassionate and nuanced approach. I have extensive expertise in helping clients work through social anxiety, mood disorders, grief, and midlife challenges.
My therapeutic style centers on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth. I am particularly attuned to the unique needs of older adults and those experiencing isolation, loneliness, and existential concerns.
Drawing from years of clinical experience, I offer evidence-based interventions tailored to each client's individual journey. My goal is to help you build resilience, understand your emotional patterns, and cultivate a sense of purpose and well-being. I approach each therapeutic relationship with deep respect, empathy, and a commitment to your healing process.

Lisa is very kind and listens well. She's also very helpful. The only reason I'm not going to continue with BetterHelp is, it's not convenient for me at this time. But Lisa is wonderful.

Appreciative of her attentiveness. I think i sound scattered during discussion. Jumping around on topics and thoughts and she focuses and centers me.

After years of cycling through therapists with BetterHelp, I finally found Lisa. I’ve brought some tough life challenges to the plate and still, I always feel heard, seen, and valued after each session. If you are dealing with stress on many levels and it all feels like too much, Lisa can help guide you to a more peaceful and healthy mindset.
