She provides individual therapy and substance use support for adults and seniors, creating a space where clients can safely explore emotional challenges and build the tools needed for lasting change. Lisa is committed to guiding clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns with care and clinical expertise.

She understands that the transition back to daily life can be complex and emotionally demanding. Through structured support and a collaborative therapeutic approach, she empowers clients to regain stability, strengthen self-awareness, and maintain the progress made in treatment. Her approach emphasizes connection, self-compassion, and resilience during what can be one of the most vulnerable and transformative times in a person’s life.

She frequently works with women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, first responders, and veterans, providing trauma-informed and inclusive care that honors each person’s unique journey. In addition to her focus areas, Lisa also supports clients navigating midlife transitions, grief, and co-occurring medical and mental health conditions. Outside of her clinical work, Lisa enjoys spending time in her garden, exploring photography, and practicing Transcendental Meditation—activities that reflect her belief in mindfulness and the healing power of presence.
