Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Lisa! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adolescents (16+) and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and questions about identity and purpose. I enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves and want to move beyond managing symptoms to better understand the patterns that shape their lives. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply feeling stuck, I'm here to support you in creating a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and aligned with your values.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and safe to be yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented, drawing on psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, and existential perspectives to help you understand the patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Together, we'll explore not only what's happening in your life now, but also the deeper experiences and values that influence how you relate to yourself and others. My goal is to help you gain clarity, develop self-compassion, and create meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a foundation of trust. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, explore your goals, and discuss any questions or concerns you may have about the process. My goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable showing up as you are, so we can begin working toward meaningful and lasting change together.
