My treatment methods

EMDR

I use this evidence-based model to lower negative beliefs and process trauma.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

This client favorite model helps the client start to show self-love and self-compassion to themselves.

Christian Counseling

The gospel is a powerful tool to eliminate shame and guilt.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

This is a practical, realistic, evidenced-modality that in my opinion. works for everyone.

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.
