I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am EMDR trained, IFS informed, and I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families. I am a Jesus-loving therapist and I offer evidence-based modalities to help clients heal from trauma, anxiety, depression and personality disorders. I graduated from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a bachelor of Science in Psychology. I graduated from my Master's Degree in 2009 and have been helping people since then. I am a mother to four children ages 11-15.

Lisa is an exceptional and irreplaceable therapist- warm, authentic, trustworthy, and highly skilled. She has guided me through trauma, relationships, career, and life transitions with compassion and clarity. Her presence is safe and supportive, making it easy to be vulnerable. She listens without judgment, offers thoughtful insight, practical tools, and faith-based wisdom I deeply value. It’s evident she truly cares and has a genuine passion for mentoring others. I recommend her wholeheartedly.
