Meet Lisa

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with private, county, and healthcare system experience. My experience ranges from children to adults and I have specialized training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I specialize in working with couples, and adults. I treat general mood disorders, anxiety disorders, postpartum, and phase-of-life transitions. I engage in a humanistic approach to treatment by building on your strengths. I will work with you to identify barriers and areas of change.
