About Lisa

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 25 years, and supporting others in their healing has truly been a lifelong calling. Earning my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology was a dream realized, and since then, I have remained deeply committed to helping individuals and couples navigate addiction, trauma, and life transitions.

Over the years, my approach has continued to evolve as I’ve sought out effective and meaningful ways to support healing. I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I tailor my work to meet each person’s unique needs, history, and goals.

I have been practicing EMDR since 2004 and continue to be moved by its ability to help clients process and heal from past traumatic experiences. I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), which allows us to gently explore and understand the different “parts” of yourself with compassion and curiosity. My experience leading DBT skills groups has further shaped my work, offering practical tools to help manage emotions, build resilience, and navigate relationships more effectively.

In addition to psychotherapy, I have expanded my practice to include Reiki Energy Healing. After completing four levels of training, I now also teach Reiki to others (ask about an upcoming class). While it may be less familiar than traditional therapeutic approaches, Reiki can be a powerful complement to healing by supporting relaxation, reducing stress, and helping restore balance within the body.

At the heart of my work is a belief that healing happens in a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported. Whether you are just beginning this process or returning to it, I am here to walk alongside you.
