Hello! So glad you are here! Do you get into relationships hoping that this time things will be different? Do you feel overwhelmed and have a hard time recognizing your dreams and goals? Would you like a more kind and loving relationship with yourself and the ability to extend that to others in your life? I love helping people who are ready to identify patterns that hold them back from happiness and fulfillment in both relationships and other areas of life. My name is Lisa, and I provide therapy for both addictions and mental health issues. While I have treated those with active addiction for many years, I also treat behavior patterns stemming from addictions and family dysfunction. Although these patterns started out helping us survive challenging situations, they can keep us stuck. Many therapy seekers have found that these patterns can impact their ability to recognize their needs, dreams and to create and sustain both platonic and romantic relationships. I have a Master of Education degree in Counselor Education from Southern Illinois University specializing in Substance Abuse. From substance abuse counseling, I have expanded my areas of specialties to include family and relationship dynamics and how to heal "survival skills" that have evolved into self-defeating life patterns.
I our first session, we will explore your current challenges that you would like to address plus, any personal history you feel comfortable sharing. This will allow us to develop a personalized treatment plan to help guide us in the sessions that follow.
While I do use my intuition, I follow the methods of: Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Based - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, blended with other formats of talk therapy. Both myself and my clients have found the following tools to be useful: Karpman's Drama Triangle, Transactional Analysis, The Laundry List from Adult Children of Alcoholics, and The Five Levels of Intimacy to name a few.
I feel that helping others increase their sense of worth as well as foster self supportive behaviors that foster growth is one of my biggest strengths. I also find success with guiding clients with implementing Low Motivation Goals to work towards positive change.
Adults 18+ who want to work on changing self defeating and destructive behavioral patterns, co-dependency, dealing with toxic relationships as well as mood and anxiety disorders.

Lisa listens, and gives me a great perspective on events going on in my life. She has empowered me to set boundaries, and work on solutions to navigate whatever may come up in life. I have regained my power since starting counseling with Lisa, and feel so much more confident in how I handle difficult situations.

I appreciated her listening to my needs and my issues and giving me things that I can do in between our next meeting to see results.
