Treatment Approach

Regardless of their age, everyone faces multiple points in life when they feel they need to make a change. Lisa is drawn to the unique experiences, perspectives, and transitions facing each person she meets. The collaborative process of therapy can be a way to create a bridge from feelings of isolation and distress to a more complete understanding of personal values and sense of self. Lisa uses an integrative approach based on a psychodynamic and attachment framework. She believes that listening with respect, along with moments of laughter, are at the heart of therapy, and she incorporates the following treatment approaches:

  • Relational
  • Collaborative
  • Strength-based
  • Trauma-informed
  • Emotion-focused
  • Culturally sensitive
