Hi there, I'm Lisa!

Life can be hard. Our world makes so many demands that it can feel like we're struggling to keep our head above water. Therapy is a place for examination: of ourselves, our roles, our histories, and the contexts that make up our complicated and sometimes remarkable lives. We'll learn, laugh, mourn, and grow together.

My focus

I work with adults experiencing chronic anxiety, relationship struggles, and perfectionism. I support clients adjusting to role transitions and coping with change. I welcome clients of all gender identities, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds. Whether this is your first time in therapy or not, now is a great opportunity to work together.

My approach

I provide a trauma-informed framework informed by cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness. I also offer relational support and hold certification as a Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician. These strategies help you understand and challenge barriers to cultivating your best life.
