About me

My clients struggle with balancing family, friends, work, hobbies and inner peace. My clients all want the same thing: To live their lives doing what they love and being their best so they also have the strength to be there for others who need them. My clients struggle with negative emotions and how to deal with them. A lot of my clients have irrational, negative thoughts about themselves, others and the world in general. These thoughts are present but my clients may not realize their impact. They are dynamic, intelligent and human. Humans are vulnerable and sometimes need someone to listen and care. I am here. My mission is to provide the highest quality clinical services in partnership with my clients to help them to reach their highest potential of personal & professional well being. I am adept at helping clients get to the root of the problem and developing the skills needed to cope more effectively, identify their core values and shape their goals and dreams around these values for better life fulfillment. If you simply need to slow down your pace, be more mindful or learn to relax and shut off work at home I can provide tips and techniques for you to practice. I use reflective listening and other motivational interviewing techniques to assist those with addiction issues. If you simply want a safe place to talk and feel empathy and validation I can do that too. Your time is valuable and I want you to get what you need from therapy. I will ask you at times if you feel you are progressing in an appropriate way. I aim for us to have open dialogue at all times. I look forward to working with you on your journey!

Lisa actively listens to me. She provides objective observations and advice in a language that I understand. She's warm and easy to talk to.

Lisa is very easy to talk to. She listens to me when I tell her what is going on with me & she gives me suggestions, worksheets & assignments to do to help me through my problems. I highly recommend her. Thank you.

My therapist has offered me a platform to reflect on myself and my actions. It is rewarding for me to have such a sincere and thoughtful contact to connect with. I am confident that over the course of additional meetings that the tools she has shared with me will continue to lead to additional insight. There is a supportive touch that Lisa provides which lends itself to holistic and tangible next steps to overcome overlaying issues.
