It's important to me to see what the view is like from your window

Lisa is committed to creating a safe and collaborative environment where she actively listens and understands your perspective. Her approach is trauma-informed and evidence-based, but she also values and affirms your expertise regarding your own life. She empathetically supports you as you work through life's challenges, improve your mental health and wellbeing, and build stronger relationships. Lisa believes in the possibility of healing, growth, and recovery for everyone, and that practicing self-compassion and mindfulness can lead to a better future.
