Hi, I’m Lisa. You know that cartoon of the little dog at the kitchen table sipping coffee while the house burns around him? Is that you? Have you been saying, “This is fine, this is OK” for way too long? Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, or overwhelming stress; if something happened to you that’s making life hurt; if you feel your house is on fire and it’s just not “fine” anymore – I am here to listen and to help. You will find in me warmth, compassion, and an ability to truly listen until you know you’ve been understood. I will also bring to you everything I have learned in over 7 years of working with clients who experience trauma, depression, and anxiety. Together, we will explore where you’re coming from, set our sights on where you’d like to go, and then build a plan to get you there. We will use evidence-based practices to strengthen what’s already strong in you, heal what hurts, and create new ways to thrive. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but I’m about as frightening as a nerdy baby duck. Whatever you’ve been dealing with, we’ve got it. Together, we’ll work me out of a job. You are strong enough, you are smart enough, and my favorite moment is when my clients say, “Yeah, I think I’m good now.”
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, you can expect me to ask a lot of questions and listen a lot. You are in control of how much you share - you can dump it all, or we can start with little steps. My goal is to learn what your life looks like through your eyes and get an idea of what kind of changes you would like to make. We'll work together to clarify your goals and set up future session at a pace that is best for you.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
In therapy-speak, I primarily lean on CBT, elements of DBT, some narrative therapy, and a whole lot of trauma-informed therapy. What that means is I will help you learn how to think through struggles, how to reduce the impact of any past trauma on your current functioning, how to lasso that puppy-brain or lizard-brain of your emotions, and how to build a network of support and healthy habits.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I think my greatest strength in counseling is my passion for gaining an understanding of my client's experience so we can work together to create positive change. Much of my professional experience is in working with the impact of trauma and the many ways it influences a person's view of themselves and the world, so if that is what you're dealing with, know that I won't melt into the ground or fall to pieces when I hear your story. I'm not afraid to hear the tough stuff and I have a lot of experience utilizing evidence-based approaches to help people find healing.
