Working with Lisa
A counselor who pays attention to more than the words alone.
Lisa values honest conversation and a therapeutic relationship where clients can speak openly. She listens for what someone is saying while also noticing patterns, reactions, and changes that may be important to the work.
Her counseling style is engaged and collaborative. Rather than assuming every person needs the same process, Lisa works with clients to understand what is happening and decide what may be useful to explore.

Clinical approaches
Several ways of working, selected with care.
Depending on a client’s needs and preferences, Lisa’s work may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and person-centered counseling.
These approaches are tools within therapy rather than requirements. Lisa considers the focus of counseling, the client’s preferences, and what appears appropriate for the work.
Lisa is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through EMDR International Association (EMDRIA).
