About me

Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana. I hold a Master's degree from Huntington University and have 12 years of clinical experience. I specialize in helping adults of all ages navigate life's challenges and achieve a balanced, harmonious lifestyle. I strive to establish a therapeutic rapport with each client, meeting them with compassion, empathy, and unconditional positive regard.

Get to know me

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

The initial session will focus on getting to know you better. I will ask questions about your life, current concerns, and reasons for seeking therapy. We will establish a comfortable rapport, discuss my therapeutic approach, review confidentiality policies, and outline potential treatment goals. I am committed to creating a safe and supportive space for you to express yourself freely.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I provide a therapeutic environment characterized by unconditional positive regard, compassion, and empathy. I believe in the inherent value of each individual and strive to convey that belief, empowering clients to believe in themselves.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am committed to supporting adults of all ages in their pursuit of a more meaningful life. I specialize in working with individuals who seek to deepen their spiritual connection and explore the profound meaning of life. I enjoy working with clients who are open to understanding the interconnection of mind, body, spirit, and soul.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Our thoughts significantly influence our perception of reality. Emotional responses stemming from our thoughts shape our life experiences. Our personality is a manifestation of the emotional landscape we inhabit within.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Embracing the present moment and cultivating self-compassion can facilitate the natural resolution of internal challenges. By acknowledging and accepting distressing thoughts or feelings, we can shift our focus away from the problem itself. When we resist fighting against our experiences, we can find greater fluidity and ease.

Somatic

Life's challenges and traumas can manifest as physical and emotional pain. By addressing the body through techniques such as tapping and movement, we can support the healing process and cultivate a greater sense of mind-body-soul harmony.

Integrative

Achieving optimal well-being requires a holistic approach that addresses multiple dimensions of ourselves. By incorporating wellness, nutrition, and physical activity, we can cultivate a harmonious mind-body-soul connection. Factors such as gut health and inflammation play crucial roles in our emotional state. An integrative approach to self-care is vital for promoting overall well-being and life satisfaction

Faith based therapy

A deep connection to life can enhance our ability to navigate challenges. Upholding personal values can provide stability. Embracing love, compassion, and peace towards ourselves, others, and the world can foster personal evolution and spiritual growth, even in the face of adversity.

Lisa is a wonderful counselor. She is intelligent and caring. She shows true empathy and compassion. Lisa's counseling is the epitome of showing unconditional positive regard. She is authentic, and as a retired pastor, I appreciate her willingness to look into Scripture with me. She helps me understand what I am experiencing and reminds me of interventions I can use in my daily life. I gave Lisa a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because I couldn't give 10 out of 10. Lisa is the best counselor for me.
