Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Connecticut. I received my Masters in Social Work from Southern CT State University in 1997 and have been practicing for 27 years. I help adults 18 + in dealing with various stressors in their current or past life, from loss to dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, as well as issues in any kind of relationship.
In our first session together, we will start by identifying the current stressors you are experiencing and how you have coped in the past when faced with similar experiences. I want to fully understand your life so that we can effectively work together.
I am strong at being able to meet client where they are at, identify their own wins/successes in life an being able to teach clients coping skills, building self esteem/confindence and being able to set clear boundaries in life as needed.
I enjoy working with adults who are ready to improve their current situations, whether it be personal,professional, or a combination of both. I have a deep commitment to advocacy, trauma-informed care, and empowering individuals and families through times of crisis and transition.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With CBT, you will be able to recognize how your thoughts affect your feelings and behavior. Your will have the oppotunity to learn new/healthier ways of thinking which will lead to feeling better. CBT is primarily used to treat stress, anxiety, and depression. You will be able to practice this in real life settings by first working with me in a safe therapeutic setting.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use this particular treatment method to identify with client what gives them meaning in life/what they value and next commit to getting to a place of happiness despits obstacles.

I love that Lisa acts like a mirror and shows me things from a new perspective. She helps challenge my thinking to allow me to reframe my mind. I appreciate that she helps walk through my thoughts.
