I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Addictions Counselor with over 30 years of experience working with people of all ages and backgrounds who face issues that include trauma, chemical dependency, self-esteem, communication, relationship concerns, depression, anxiety and more. I tailor the treatment approach to the client to best meet the client's needs, and generally include components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Theory, Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing.

Lisa is very professional, attentive, and uses tried and true methods to approach problems in a variety of mediums (i.e. conversation, worksheets, etc.). I feel like I take a step forward every time I connect with Lisa.

After two sessions I feel more equipped to handle tough situations the week might throw at me and a better connection with myself and my feelings. Very excited to continue our work together.

Lisa is very kind and also very professional in her manner and in the way she works. I am finding it helpful working with her. I feel like I am learning a lot about myself during the process.
