Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
If you’re here, it’s likely because you’re feeling confused or torn up about how to handle some part of your life, and it’s affecting you in a way you wish it wasn’t. I want to help you get past that, and get to a place where you’re feeling more confident about your ability to manage the difficult situations you come across, whether it’s with your family, in your relationships, or at work.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, and I’ve practiced therapy for over fifteen years. During that time, I’ve worked with people dealing with the stresses and anxieties of life, parents experiencing difficulties with their children, people struggling with addiction in either themselves or loved ones, survivors of trauma and abuse, and even fellow workers in the helping professions who are facing burnout.
In working with clients, the number one thing I like to help them see is that it’s normal to react to what is happening around you. It’s human nature to have an emotional response to events in your life. What comes after that emotional response is often what people want to change, and where I come in. I can offer you a neutral opinion on the situation you are facing, and then work with you to find a solution that is realistic for your life. What works for you may not be what works for others, and that’s okay.
I use a Person-Centered approach overall, which means you set the tone for all of our interactions. I also like to use Strength-based techniques, which focuses on what you are doing well already and builds on it; Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, which looks at how our thoughts influence our behaviors; and Gestalt techniques, which allow us to look at your difficulties from different perspectives.
I use an assortment of techniques from other approaches as well. I will always do my best to individualize my work to your specific needs, and empower you to make the changes you want to see in your life. You’ve already made one in reaching out for help, and I look forward to working with you.

She is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California, credentialed to provide marriage and family therapy (CA LMFT 51873), and has been practicing for 19 years. Over the course of her career she has supported people managing stress and anxiety, parents struggling with child-related challenges, individuals affected by addiction in themselves or loved ones, survivors of trauma and abuse, and professionals in helping roles who face burnout.
Lisa frames emotional responses as a normal, human reaction to life events and focuses on what happens after those reactions. She brings a neutral viewpoint to the situation and collaborates with clients to identify realistic, individualized solutions that fit their lives – recognizing that what works for one person may not work for another.
Her primary orientation is person-centered, letting clients set the tone for sessions. She also uses strength-based strategies to build on existing resources, cognitive-behavioral techniques to examine how thoughts influence behavior, and Gestalt methods to explore difficulties from multiple perspectives. She draws from additional approaches as needed and tailors her work to each client’s specific needs.
Reaching out for help is an important first step, and Lisa looks forward to working with new clients as they pursue the changes they want to make in their lives.
For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and adapting to life changes – online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care. Research and clinical experience support its usefulness for these types of issues.
One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the format that fits their needs and schedule, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to keep consistent appointments and integrate therapy into a busy life.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many, the convenience and breadth of communication methods make online therapy a practical way to begin or continue mental health care.
