LMHC, 11 years of experience
Hi I’m Lisa. I am a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in trauma. You may think you do not have trauma, but I have experience with working with all levels of trauma. From unthinkable, terrible things that may have occurred in your life or in somebody’s life that you care about to smaller traumas such as divorce, your parent’s divorce, unhealthy relationship patterns, the loss of a job, of a pet. Do you feel stuck? I specialize in cognitive behavioral approaches that help us examine unhealthy belief systems, thought processes and behaviors that keep us stuck. I teach my clients cognitive techniques that can be used daily to shift those unhealthy patterns that have kept you stuck, allowing you to make small changes that can ripple into bigger changes, setting you free to live your best life possible. I have made these changes in my own life and I would be honored to help you do the same.
In our first session we will get to know each other and see what your comfort level is with therapy. We will discuss your goals and I will give input as to how we can go about getting you where you want to be.
I’m very laid back. I’m not offended by profanity (teens and young adults like me because they are able to express themselves without fear of offending me). I am effective in teaching skills that can be used after therapy if completed. I focus on healthy and effective communication and learning how to set boundaries.

Lisa was absolutely amazing! From the moment we started talking, it felt like I was chatting with my best friend. This was my first session with her, and I’m already looking forward to my next one. She has such a warm, genuine energy. You can truly tell she cares and wants to help people. Thank goodness for her!

Genuinely listened, made the conversation very inviting, and understanding. Felt like I was talking to a friend at a bar. Really great experience, made the therapy process very smooth and easy. 10/10, would recommend.

Lisa was very warm and empathetic. She really felt for both my partner and me and balanced her advice. She was effective at getting to the root of the problems and creating a safe space for discussion.
The idea behind CBT is that if we can change our thoughts, it in turn changes our feelings and then behaviors. I use this along with personality assessments to teach my clients how to break through negative patterns that have kept them feeling “stuck” in areas of their lives. I was recently certified as a mental health and clinical nutrition specialist as well, so if anyone is interested in exploring the idea of "you are what you eat", I'm your person.
