Growing up in a military community as a student-athlete and bartender, I learned quickly that my passion and love for people would take the lead in picking a career. While receiving my master's degree at the University of Southern California, I concentrated on family and couple dynamics with a focus on military culture. Since becoming licensed in Texas, I have worked in the acute hospital setting with individuals in crisis processing trauma and working through the stages of grief. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), solution-focused therapy, and task-oriented therapy. I look forward to working with individuals and couples in all different stages of life to help them process, heal, and move forward with proper coping skills to be as successful as possible.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Clients in the first session should expect to be heard. They will be encouraged to speak openly and freely with no judgement. They will leave knowing they are in a safe space where ideas and thoughts will be grown, challenged and nurtured.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength is being able to connect with my clients where they feel comfortable and safe communicating with me. Providing a safe space and a place where people can be honest and vulnerable is my most optimal quality as a clinician.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I prefer working with couples along with individuals working through life transitions, depression and/or anxiety. Due to my acute care hospital experience I work with those individuals dealing with end of life, crisis or working through trauma. I am also a partner of the LGBTQIA+ community and focus on sex positive choices and relationships.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Assists people with deep seeded anxiety with meditation, breathing techniques and awareness exercises.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Great for clients who appreciate being pushed towards self actualization and wanting a self awakening.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Used with clients who have set objectives and goals but need help organizing the details to obtain said goals.

OMG, I’ve searched for a personal therapist for a long time and I’ve found her! Lisa is awesome! From the very beginning of the conversation the energy was on point and she was concerned about me and my goals and where I am and where I would like to be! I definitely recommend her and I and looking forward to this journey with her.. did I mention this is my first visit!

Lisa is amazing. She made me completely comfortable to share all of my emotions from the get go. I’m excited to continue to work with her in the future!
