Great to meet you!

Hi my name is Lisa and I have 20+ years of experience helping individuals navigating the complexities of anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, grief, substance use, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and life transitions. Many feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about their next steps. In a supportive, gender affirming environment, I help clients understand the patterns shaping their lives, build on their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful change. Together, we focus on healing, resilience, and living with greater confidence, connection, and purpose. It's great to meet you, and I am happy that you took the first steps to taking care of yourself.

My approach to therapy

By integrating evidence-based tools like CBT and SFBT with a compassionate, strengths-based perspective, I help my clients achieve meaningful behavioral change. We work at a pace that honors your story, focusing on building the resilience needed to find inner peace and navigate life on life’s terms. I provide practical, goal-oriented therapy.

What you can expect from me

I believe in meeting you exactly where you are, honoring your unique journey as we uncover and build upon your inherent strengths. By listening deeply and developing a complete understanding of your concerns, we create a space where your goals lead the way. Real change takes time, and I am committed to moving at a pace that feels right for you—adjusting our path whenever needed.
