About Lisa
Her work addresses a wide spectrum of concerns, including trauma and PTSD, stress and anxiety, relationship and family dynamics, grief and identity challenges, and struggles with eating, sleeping, anger, and self-esteem. She also supports clients facing parenting and caregiver stress, career transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. Lisa draws on a range of therapeutic tools to tailor treatment to each person’s needs and goals.
Clients encounter a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where communication, skill building, and self-understanding are central. She emphasizes resilience, practical coping skills, and self-compassion while helping people repair relationships, process past wounds, and develop clearer direction for the future.
Dedicated to inclusive, person-centered care, Lisa partners with clients across age groups and life stages to create meaningful, sustainable change. She accepts new clients, including international clients, and offers flexible session formats to fit varied schedules and needs.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when working with clients online. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while teaching practical skills for everyday challenges. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process and lessen the emotional impact of past distressing memories, often used for PTSD and trauma recovery.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques or combine approaches as treatment progresses, so clients feel involved in deciding what fits best.
Online therapy with Lisa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to receive care that matches their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment, access therapy from different locations, and fit sessions into busy lives while continuing evidence-based work with a licensed professional.
