About Lisa
She works with a broad array of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related struggles, and challenges with sleep, eating, and self-esteem. Lisa emphasizes a non-judgmental environment where clients can explore difficult feelings, enhance communication, and build resilience across different life stages.
Her practice focuses on healing from past wounds and strengthening present coping tools, whether the need arises from workplace strain, caregiving burdens, or complex family dynamics. Lisa aims to honor each person’s unique story while fostering self-compassion, practical problem solving, and sustainable growth. She welcomes clients seeking a collaborative, inclusive therapeutic relationship and supports international clients as well.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Lisa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR into her work to address a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance, which can be especially useful for relationship challenges, anger, and intense emotions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing their ongoing emotional impact, supporting people healing from past abuse or traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and tailors methods accordingly so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy allows clients to access care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographical distance. These options make it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care and to engage with licensed professionals in ways that suit their daily lives and comfort levels.
