Lisa leads her sessions with compassion, empathy, and comfort, creating a respectful therapeutic environment. Her extensive, varied experience working with children, adults, and families has fostered her unique skills in building strong therapeutic bonds and establishing trust with each of her clients. As a warm provider, Lisa creates a judgment-free space where clients are valued and encouraged to express themselves knowing that she is there to meet them where they are.
Utilizing treatment methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), relational therapy, supportive therapy, and solution-focused therapy, Lisa individually works with each client to reach their specific goals, understanding the importance of personalized care. She empowers her clients and helps them little by little to build their self-esteem and confidence for the long term. She also believes in the power of community and support, which she employs in every session.
Lisa has worked in a wide range of therapy settings with diverse clients of all ages, giving her a broad perspective for understanding. Lisa works diligently to provide her clients with tangible skills to foster progress toward their goals, teaching clients to navigate emotional dysregulation and stress, interpersonal conflict, anxiety, and depression. Her clients are always reminded that they are not alone, but rather celebrated for their successes and supported in times of distress. Therapy can be daunting and overwhelming, but Lisa’s therapeutic style is a partnership with her clients so they can engage in the work together and feel supported on their therapeutic journey both in and out of sessions.
