It can be difficult to trust someone with your personal challenges and feelings. As a compassionate clinical social worker, I provide a safe and supportive environment to help you balance your life and empower yourself. Clients appreciate my laid-back yet professional therapeutic style. My goal is to offer you a voice, collaborate with you on your goals, respect your cultural beliefs and opinions, focus on your strengths, and provide the tools needed to move forward.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, I will listen to you share your thoughts and feelings comfortably. I may ask questions to help me understand how to best form a helpful partnership. You are also welcome to ask me any questions you have. I strive to make the counseling process easy and comfortable.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I genuinely love what I do and very much enjoy working with my clients. I view our therapeutic relationship as a partnership, where I learn as much from them as they learn from me. There is no room for judgment in our partnership. I am here to support you, not to define who you should be.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I specialize in working with teenagers, young adults, and women. As a school social worker, I have extensive experience supporting students facing challenges in the school environment. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and have over 15 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends.

I use this approach in order to empower my clients by teaching them to use their own thoughts and behavior in order to heal themselves.
Compassion Focused
I use this approach with my clients when I need to help my clients have compassion with themselves and others, all while being non judgemental.
Positive Psychology
I use this approach with my clients because I love that it uses the positives and strengths in our lives to make productive and lasting changes.
Psychoeducation
I use this approach in order to educate, empower, and support my clients.

My wife and I had our first session with Lisa this morning. We both really appreciated her warm, easygoing nature. She was very comfortable to talk to and we both felt like the suggestions she gave will lead to significant progress in our marriage. She is very knowledgeable and experienced and took her time getting to know us. We look forward to meeting with her again!
