About Lisa
She draws on more than six years of formal practice as a licensed clinician and over twenty years working in mental health and human services. That background means she has seen many common patterns and knows ways to interrupt them. She offers plain feedback, tools you can try between sessions, and space to talk about what matters most right now.
In sessions she mixes immediate problem-solving with attention to how past patterns keep showing up. Conversations include insight and practical suggestions, not just listening. She aims for therapy that feels useful and doable, not vague or overwhelming.
Clients can expect to work on things like sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, and career pressures. She also supports people facing adoption or foster care issues, caregiver stress, and recovery from trauma or abuse. The tone is warm and direct, with an emphasis on finding workable change.

Approaches that guide online sessions and practical change
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, applied work. One common approach adapts problem-solving methods to help break large problems into small, doable steps and develop concrete coping strategies for stress, sleep, or work issues. Another frequently used approach looks at how past relationship patterns affect current behavior, helping people recognize those patterns and try different ways of connecting or setting boundaries.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they react to different techniques. Together they will choose or adjust methods so sessions match what the person wants to accomplish and feel manageable week to week.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people continue care during moves or life transitions. The therapist will discuss what will be most useful and practical for your situation when you begin.
