Lisa is a great therapist, reaches out in a timely fashion and I always feel heard. She provides great guidance and the homework each week is always helps. For me the homework helps me feel on track and I can see the growth from first session to now.

Lisa is incredible! From our very first session I felt she quickly understood my concerns and we came up strategies I was able to immediately implement with good effect. I look forward to our continued work together! Highly recommend her to all.

I have had only 1 session with Lisa and the 1 time I did meet with her I was instantly comfortable and just let a lot out, I felt like I was speaking to a friend. I hope to continue to grow in my time with her.
