Lisa is committed to helping people recognize that depression and anxiety are not signs of personal weakness. Rather, both are medical conditions that can have serious, negative consequences if left untreated. Unfortunately, many suffer in silence.
Common symptoms of depression include:
- Feelings of hopeless and helplessness
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Changes in sleeping pattern
- Lack of concentration
- Irritability and impatience
- Suicidal thoughts or wishes (seek immediate medical or psychological intervention)
- Unexplained physical aches and pains
- Loss of interest in daily activities, social activities,
sex and/or family
- Loss of energy
Lisa encourages anyone experiencing any one or more of these symptoms to reach out to a competent, sensitive professional for supportive counseling and therapeutic assistance.

Helping individuals reclaim their authentic self, honor their inner voice and uncover the dynamics of self-sabotage are among Lisa’s core competencies. While Lisa is well versed in many practical and theoretical models of psychology, she also holds licenses in reflexology and fitness leadership and gracefully integrates these complimentary areas into her work with clients.

- "I struggled with sex addiction and never, ever thought I’d admit it to anyone. Once I realized that my life was out of control and that unless I reached out for help, I was going to die. Lisa saved my life. But she would prefer I say “I helped me save my own life”. S.H.
- "I never believed in therapy. I thought it was a bunch of crap. I was so very wrong. Working with Lisa changed my life in very positive ways". N.G.
- "I have spoken to counselors before and was disillusioned by the profession. My friend who works with Lisa recommended her highly. I gave it a chance. It was the best decision of my life. I highly recommend Lisa. She helped me feel seen, affirmed and best of all, helped me find my way back to my authentic self" C.C.
