From survival Mode to Self-Trust
Together, we can help your body remember what safety feels like.
If you've spent years feeling on edge, bracing for the next conflict, or carrying the weight of keeping it all together, you're not alone. My clients come to me feeling tired, disconnected, and unsure how to calm the constant hum of stress inside. What you're experiencing isn't a flaw—it's your nervous system doing what it learned to do long ago: protect you. But survival mode isn't meant to be a lifelong state.
I specialize in attachment-based therapy with gentle nervous system regulation practices, and effective trauma treatment, including EMDR. In our sessions, we’re not just talking about your experiences; we're helping your whole body shift out of fight-or-flight and into connection. Healing happens when the mind and body both feel safe.
Through our work together, you'll:
- Build trust in yourself and your relationships
- Experience more calm and less reactivity
- Learn to respond to life rather than brace against it
- Develop a sense of 'I can handle this' in your everyday life
This is slow, safe work that honors your pace. You don't have to push or 'be strong' here—you get to rest, be held, and gently rewire your system for connection and peace. You deserve to feel safe in your own body, and you don't have to do it alone.
Client Experience
"Lisa is a remarkable therapist to work with. She is intuitive, experienced, patient, kind, empathetic, and thorough. Lisa’s customizes her approach based on the individual’s personality as well as the couple as a whole. Her approach is effective yet nurturing and validating. Her ability to quickly get to the root of the issue is remarkable as well as to explain and educate. Lisa creates an environment that is safe and a place where hard work can be accomplished. I am extremely grateful to be able to work with Lisa."
"Lisa made me feel completely supported and safe in exploring my feelings and validating my experience. Throughout the year I have spent in therapy with Lisa, I have felt empowered and confident in my ability to grow and overcome the challenges that initially led me to seek therapy. Her approach has been instrumental in my journey."
"Without Lisa's help and guidance, I would still be knocking holes in walls. She supported me through some of the most challenging and frustrating times in my life. Her assistance in individual therapy has been invaluable."
Why Work With Me
- I understand attachment deeply. I help clients recognize how early relationships and current relational patterns can shape emotions, boundaries, trust, conflict, and intimacy.
- I look beneath the symptoms. Rather than focusing only on anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, I explore what may be driving those patterns.
- I value the therapeutic relationship. Clients can experience therapy as a safe, consistent relationship where they can slow down, feel understood, and develop new ways of relating.
- I bring experience and perspective. My experience allows you to recognize patterns while still treating each client as an individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
- I help clients create lasting change. The goal isn't simply to cope better in the moment, but to develop greater self-understanding, emotional security, healthier relationships, and more choice in how they respond.
