She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck, and the Gottman Method to address communication and trust in relationships. She also draws on narrative and trauma-focused approaches when past events interfere with current functioning. In sessions she focuses on simple, concrete tools people can try between meetings.

Conversations often include setting small goals, practicing communication skills, and learning ways to manage stress and anxious thoughts. Lisa aims to make progress feel achievable rather than overwhelming. She has worked with people coping with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiving and aging questions, codependency, and the effects of workplace trauma.

First responder issues are part of her background given her earlier career in emergency services. People can expect a collaborative approach where the therapist and client choose the strategies that fit their life. Sessions are offered in English and are scheduled to match each person’s needs and routines.
