About Lisa
She believes clients know their own stories and brings support to help them use their strengths. Lisa emphasizes small, doable steps that lead to clearer thinking and more manageable days. She encourages people to notice what is working and to build on those parts of their lives.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and habits that keep problems going.

Those approaches are used to address practical problems like sleeping, low self-esteem, panic attacks, and relationship stress.
Lisa has worked with concerns that include trauma, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care questions, autism-related concerns, body image, and social anxiety. Her practice pays attention to everyday pressures and the ways they change how people feel and act.
Her style is calm and encouraging. She helps people set clear goals and tries techniques that fit each person's life. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.
