Meet Lisa

I have worked with children and adults for my entire 27-year-long career. I have extensive experience with clients of different age groups, ethnicities, trauma histories, and life transitions. Feelings of loss, depression or anxiety, and adjustment can be difficult to manage in today's world. The world is changing every day - everyone needs assistance now and again. My goal in therapy with you is to create a safe compassionate experience where you can share your feelings and emotions. My therapy style or approach is grounded in strengths-based, collaborative care. My style is friendly and caring. I enjoy using humor while still treating clients with respect and sensitivity.
