Hello! I'm glad you're here. This is an important step in taking care of you! Maybe you're familiar with counseling, or maybe this is your first time. It's a brave step to take and it means you want to dig deeper to get to a healthier place. My approach is holistic in nature, acknowledging we are mind, body, emotions, and spirit. I hope to create a supportive place for you to share your concerns and work towards your goals. We can explore tools such as mindfulness techniques that are tailored just for you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session I'll aim to learn more about you, your situation, and what goals you want to be working on. We'll spend about 10mins at the start to go over what you can expect from sessions. We'll also review confidentiality and informed consent so you're fully aware of your rights as a client.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Clients have described me as warm, authentic, and kind. I aim to navigate sessions with sensitivity and respect, focusing sessions on what is important to you. I also bring a great deal of experience to my practice. I have worked with clients in the mental field for many years in all kinds of settings-- outpatient practice as well as in the home, local clinics, hospitals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Are you struggling and feeling overwhelmed? Relationships wearing you out? Maybe you've set some goals to get to a healthier place. I offer a safe, judgement-free space to explore your concerns and get support. Do you want someone who will listen? Perhaps some tools to use outside the sessions? I'm happy to help with a mix of both and will tailor sessions to meet your needs.

My treatment methods

Integrative

With a background in art therapy, and experience in narrative, cognitive behavioral, and family systems, I aim to integrate approaches to best meet your needs. I am also familiar with mindfulness, IFS, and somatic therapy. I have incorporated Motivational Interviewing and the Enneagram into my work as well. My approach is attachment and trauma informed. Foundationally, I am person-centered and value the quality of the connection in sessions to best support you in reaching your goals.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness and breathwork can be useful tools in therapy sessions. Specifically, HeartMath is a scientific approach to meditative breathing that can deeply impact our functioning.

Trauma Informed Care

I approach all clients with compassion and recognize that trauma can intensify our sensitivity to stimuli. Past trauma can sometimes play a part in present day concerns. We can explore past trauma to the extent that you're comfortable or keep the focus on more present concerns.

Somatic

My work is also polyvagal informed. We often carry stress and anxiety in our bodies, making it difficult for traditional "talk therapy" to fully reach the heart of the problem. Therapeutic techniques that engage the vagal nerve, a primary pathway in our nervous system, can help transition us out of "fight or flight" into a relaxed state.

Strength-Based

My approach is inherently strengths based as well. Narrative therapy, person-centered, IFS, and somatic work all include a foundational core value of respect and sensitivity to the client. This includes focusing on your inner strengths, resourcefulness, and resilience rather than your weaknesses or "pathologies."

Lisa was very warm and welcoming with my session. She was kind and listened to what I had to unpack. I have went through some hard things in the past 3 months and it was a safe environment for me to share what I needed to. Very professional and will meet with her again.
