Hi there, I'm Lisa. Do you feel anxious often and feel like your fears are hindering you from your goals? Are your feelings of sadness keeping you from moving past hurts? Are you ready to take steps to regain your freedom from your feelings? I help individuals manage their anxious thoughts and feelings of sadness. Together, we can identify what's not working and deal with the root of these feelings. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, journaling, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. As a therapist, I believe in creating a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where clients feel safe to explore their feelings and experiences. I understand that seeking therapy can be a difficult decision, and I respect the courage it takes to take the first step. Let me help you on this journey.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where clients can heal and grow. If you are looking for a compassionate and experienced therapist, who can help you navigate your unique challenges, I invite you to reach out to me to see if I am the right fit for you. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and recovery.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I take a collaborative approach with my clients, working together to identify their goals and develop a personalized treatment plan that meets their unique needs. In my practice, I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT). In some instances, homework/skills to work on between sessions will be assigned.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have had experience working with teens, young adults, and families who have experienced domestic violence, trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety which has taught me the importance of creating a space where clients can feel heard and validated. I understand the complex emotions and challenges that can arise from these experiences and many others.
