Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Lisa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience supporting teens, young adults, and adults as they navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or simply feeling off-balance, therapy can be a powerful space to pause, reflect, and grow.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I use insight-oriented therapy along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help you develop greater self-awareness, shift unhelpful patterns, and connect more deeply with your own strengths.

What you can expect from me

I believe healing happens when we can begin to understand ourselves with honesty and care.
