About Lisa
With 25 years as a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), she focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. Sessions often explore communication, self-worth, grief, and coping with chronic illness or pain. Lisa pays attention to how relationships and early family patterns shape current struggles.
Her work draws on client-centered principles that emphasize listening and collaboration. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice recurring patterns, and EMDR when trauma memories are part of the problem. Hypnotherapy and existential approaches are available when they match a person’s goals.
People come to her for help with mood shifts, bipolar and depression, eating and body image concerns, and for addiction-related issues. She also supports those coping with cancer, chronic health challenges, and the emotional fallout of separation or domestic violence.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Prospective clients are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy button to begin the match process and schedule according to availability.

Approaches you can try in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and supporting a person’s own goals. The therapist follows what matters most to the client, helping them name priorities and try small, practical changes that fit daily life.Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns that come from early relationships or repeated reactions. It helps people notice habits in thinking and relating so they can make different choices in the present.
EMDR addresses distressing memories by pairing focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation. It is often used when trauma or painful memories affect mood, sleep, or day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaboration can include trying one style for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current online and in-person options before booking so you know what is offered.
