No one is 100% mentally healthy, there is no such thing. We all need support from time to time. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Addictions Counselor with over 30 years of experience working with people of all ages and backgrounds who face issues that include trauma, chemical dependency, self-esteem, communication, relationship concerns, depression, anxiety and more. I tailor the treatment approach to the client to best meet the client's needs, and generally include components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Theory, Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families. I look forward to meeting you and working with you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Lisa is very professional, attentive, and uses tried and true methods to approach problems in a variety of mediums (i.e. conversation, worksheets, etc.). I feel like I take a step forward every time I connect with Lisa.
Lisa is thoughtful, kind and very well prepared during each session together. She provided strong support and genuinely wants to see you doing your best and making progress. Lisa is invested in her clients wellbeing and really does push you to do your best and to set realistic goals for yourself. 10/10 would recommend her to a pal!
After two sessions I feel more equipped to handle tough situations the week might throw at me and a better connection with myself and my feelings. Very excited to continue our work together.
Lisa is very kind and also very professional in her manner and in the way she works. I am finding it helpful working with her. I feel like I am learning a lot about myself during the process.
