Hi, I’m Lisa. I know that the challenges we face in life can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Taking this first step to find a professional counselor confirms you have the strength and desire to take positive steps to engage in the process of enhancing the quality of your life. Ultimately, therapy can guide you to the reward of greater self-awareness, self-esteem, and most importantly, a more fulfilling life. Working together, we will cultivate a growth by understanding the obstacles that you face and develop solutions that can help you make lasting positive changes.

Together we work to address concerns related to mood, anxiety, trauma, grief,
relationship
problems, and life transitions.
Throughout our lives we encounter trials and tribulations. There are hurdles to climb and mountains to move. Sometimes, we are able to do it alone, but often we need guidance, support, a change in our thinking and our behaviors. As a psychologist, my experience in working with individuals and their families across the lifespan, focuses on a holistic perspective, to help them climb their hurdles and move their mountains.

Life Coaching For Men
Licensed Professional Counselor, MC, LPC, BCC

I am Board Certified Coach and Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years professional experience working with men of all ages through almost any conceivable life change such as career change,
relationship
issues, divorce, sex issues (ED), life-balancing, business coaching, achieving success, anger/stress, improving social life, and having fun again!.
It can be stressful and overwhelming to be a man with the pressures of being a high achiever, financially successful, balancing personal & family relationships, and dealing with difficult life transitions. Many of the problems that we men face are not addressed because it is uncomfortable or difficult to find the right person who is trustworthy and can really help. Life Coaching for Men is a safe and confidential place where men can address their personal and professional issues in a comfortable office setting or in the convenience of their own home or anywhere via phone or video.

Therapy provides a unique opportunity to develop a safe and supportive
relationship
to assist in creating meaningful change. After years of training and practice I have come to realize that this change must involve a deeper healing. As human beings we experience challenges throughout our lives that can feel overwhelming and often traumatic. Without the support, skills or resources in these times we end up needing to develop short term coping strategies that may be causing long term problems. I specialize in working with adult professionals struggling with issues like perfectionism, anxiety, guilt/shame and
relationship
difficulties.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
