No one is 100% mentally healthy, there is no such thing. We all need support from time to time. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Addictions Counselor with over 30 years of experience working with people of all ages and backgrounds who face issues that include trauma, chemical dependency, self-esteem, communication, relationship concerns, depression, anxiety and more. I tailor the treatment approach to the client to best meet the client's needs, and generally include components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Theory, Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing. I have experience working with individuals, couples and families. I look forward to meeting you and working with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Lisa is a very compassionate person, with the knowledge to help guide you through things that feel too overwhelming to achieve alone!
Lisa is very professional, attentive, and uses tried and true methods to approach problems in a variety of mediums (i.e. conversation, worksheets, etc.). I feel like I take a step forward every time I connect with Lisa.
Lisa is thoughtful, kind and very well prepared during each session together. She provided strong support and genuinely wants to see you doing your best and making progress. Lisa is invested in her clients wellbeing and really does push you to do your best and to set realistic goals for yourself. 10/10 would recommend her to a pal!
After two sessions I feel more equipped to handle tough situations the week might throw at me and a better connection with myself and my feelings. Very excited to continue our work together.
Lisa is very kind and also very professional in her manner and in the way she works. I am finding it helpful working with her. I feel like I am learning a lot about myself during the process.
