Great to meet you!

I'm Lisa Marie and I have been practicing for over 10 years. I have received training in the UK as well as here within the US, and have worked with people of various ages and backgrounds. I am very passionate about this work and am eager to see each individual I work with grow in their healing journeys.

My approach to therapy

I have a clinical yet conversational approach, and I aim to create a warm, safe, relaxed, and inviting environment for my clients. I want my clients to feel like they are able to take their time and get comfortable with the session. While working with me, you will feel like your thoughts and feelings are being held and respected - no matter what you bring to the session. I treat multiple areas, but my more specific areas of focus are OCD, PTSD/trauma, depression and anxiety-related issues.

What you can expect from me

I will encourage clients to step outside of their comfort zones and celebrate every step taken, including all the ups and downs. Clients can expect to grow in their self-awareness and in their ability to better interpret and process their emotions. I give homework and tasks to apply what they are learning in treatment as well as help hold them accountable to the work they've committed to do. Clients can expect to feel empowered in their therapy journeys and instilled with hope for the future.
