About Lisa I have been in private practice for 29 years. I treat all my clients with respect and provide them a safe environment to discuss their personal situations. My style is interactive,utilizing the clients strengths, as we work together towards achieving their goals. Years of professional experience provide my clients with a variety of treatment options basing treatment on the needs/goals of the individual, couple or family. As a therapist and life coach, it is important that I provide my clients with a positive experience. Treatment should conclude with them feeling better about themselves, and having met "their" goals. My professional practice consists of individuals, couples and families. I treat depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, everyday life stresses and transitions. Treatments modalities include coaching, behavioral,cognitive,solution focused and psycho-dynamic. Although I do not provide medication, I have a network of psychopharmacologists whom I refer to on an as needed basis. I consider the therapeutic relationships I have with my clients to be very important as they pursue their goals in a safe environment, comfortable setting and trusting relationship. The work I do today remains enriching, enlightening and gratifying.
