More about Lisa

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with 18 years of experience. I have successfully counseled couples, individuals with depression, anxiety, personality disorders and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I use various kinds of therapy from psychodynamic to Gestalt to Narrative and CBT. I am a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) --this is my most recent addition and it is an amazing therapy. It helps with all kinds of trauma. If an event/s in your past or present is making it difficult for you to enjoy life, then EMDR may be for you. Freeing clients from the grips of an experience/s that cause pain, shame or failure is my greatest joy
I have a long history of my own healing that has opened my heart to helping others. I would love to discuss whatever is on your mind and propose a plan of action! Reach out and let's talk!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
