She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, depression, grief, and parenting challenges.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas inform work on attachment and closeness in important relationships.
Sessions are geared toward clear goals and manageable strategies. Lisa helps people name priorities, practice new skills, and track small changes week to week. She also brings mindfulness and solution-focused ideas into sessions to support coping and problem solving.
Her background includes counseling in nonprofit, private practice, higher education, and community settings. That range shaped a flexible style that fits practical life demands. Lisa works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, bipolar mood concerns, parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Conversations are held in English and tailored to each person’s pace and preferences. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Lisa uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.
How Lisa’s approaches translate to online therapy
Lisa uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities, listening carefully and shaping the work around what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, concrete behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas guide work on connection and closeness in relationships, helping people notice patterns and try new ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa will work collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals and situation, adjusting techniques as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to keep, discard, or try next.
