I believe that given the right tools, we are all capable of attaining a comfortable level of happiness and fulfillment in life. My role is to help you acquire and sharpen those tools within the shortest possible time frame. I’m a Certified Gottman Couples Therapist, which means I have expertise in the most highly regarded and scientifically proven form of couples therapy. Gottman uses psychodynamic and research-based techniques to strengthen emotional closeness and intimacy, improve conflict management, and create a culture of mutual support. With Individuals I use only proven techniques, primarily IFS (Internal Family Systems).
I have advanced training in helping couples with destructive patterns, past trauma, affairs/infidelity, and sex/intimacy issues. As an active research therapist, I've been trained in Gottman Marathon Therapy (three-day intensive couples work) and The Gottman Love Lab. Processing family of origin issues individually or as a couple is also part of my work.
Since my background includes a strong grounding in fitness, wellness, and the mind/body connection, I take a holistic approach to health and happiness. I'd be happy to chat with you during a short video consultation. To book a consultation or first appointment, please visit my online portal: lisa-sturm.clientsecure.me/

After a thorough assessment, I'll create an individualized plan that we'll review together. I'll include an overview of every technique we'll be using so that you'll have a strong sense of what to expect in our treatment. Still, at the start of each session, you'll be asked about what feels most important to address that day, so your immediate needs are always honored.
