Great to meet you!

I'm Lisa a board- certified PMHNP providing treatment for psychiatric ailments and disorders across the lifespan. I have been practicing in a variety of clinical care settings since 2015. Over the years my practice has evolved and is now focused on providing a holistic approach. My personal interest in living a healthy life style and root cause medicine led me on the path to pursue a certification as a Functional Medicine practitioner.

My approach to therapy

While I continue to prescribe medication, I strongly believe that finding the root cause of symptoms provides client's with the best outcomes. Understanding a client’s unique physiology, and history allows me to define individualized treatment plans for each client.

What you can expect from me

My client’s may begin lifestyle, and dietary changes, in effort to provide treatment while minimizing side effects that may result from traditional pharmacological treatments. I do use conventional medicine when appropriate and beneficial as part of a treatment plan. I do not prescribe benzodiazepines or stimulants.
