About Lisa
She has worked in therapy for 19 years and has supported people facing trauma, family conflict, parenting stress, workplace burnout, and struggles with intimacy and identity. Lisa emphasizes that emotional reactions are normal and that change often starts with what comes after those reactions. She offers a steady, neutral perspective while helping each person find solutions that fit their life.
Her approach centers on a client-directed, person-centered stance where clients set the pace and priorities. She combines that with attachment-based ideas to look at relational patterns and cognitive-behavioral techniques to notice thoughts that affect behavior. Mindfulness and motivational strategies are also mixed in to build practical skills for coping and decision-making.
Sessions focus on identifying realistic next steps, strengthening existing skills, and exploring patterns that keep problems stuck. Lisa adapts methods to the individual rather than applying a single template. She aims to help people regain a sense of control and move toward goals that matter to them.
People often come for help with communication problems, family of origin issues, codependency, chronic illness stress, or feelings of emptiness and shame. Lisa works in English and practices in California as an LMFT.
