About Lisa

 

My Journey

Like many of us, I’ve hit spiritual road bumps—some jarring, others slowly unraveling—all arriving at just the right time. These moments invited me inward from the outer spiral of my existence. They invited me to slow down, reflect, and spiral deeper into myself.

Along the way, I questioned long-held beliefs and discovered how unhealed trauma had created inner disconnection. As I softened old patterns, I found integration, harmony, deep peace, and lasting joy.

What once felt like setbacks and challenges became sacred invitations and initiations—and my greatest teachers. My own transformation inspires me to walk beside you—supporting you in reconnecting with your deeper nature, innate wisdom, and inner strength, so you can become the alchemist of your life and shine from the inside out.

 

Together, We Ground & Elevate

With over 30 years of experience spanning healthcare, leadership, and the healing arts, I bring a devoted heart and a grounded, integrative approach to my work as a counselor. I am deeply committed to supporting you, and I believe in you—even if you can’t yet. With calm and compassionate sensitivity, I create a safe, confidential space where you can explore and truly know, be, and love who you are.

I honor you, your unique background, identity, orientation, and beliefs, treating everyone with care, fairness, and respect. All are welcomed, valued, and seen. Through relational, cultural, and systems-wide lenses, I hold the many layers of your unique lived experience with compassion and humility.

The body, spirit, and mind are intertwined, and reconnecting with that innate wholeness supports healing and awakening. Practices grounded in presence, mindfulness, harmonious flow, and creative expression deepen embodiment and soften what’s been carried. Although mental strength has value, true transformation and healing can emerge through reclaiming and integrating all parts of self.

My approach honors our mind–body–spirit nature and supports deeper alignment with your authentic self. Together we weave integrative modalities to help you reclaim parts of yourself, Align Within, and create lasting, positive change. Trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive, my work is holistic, strengths-based, person-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices tailored to your needs.

I draw from
• Mindfulness-based approaches
• Somatic work
• Hypnotherapy
• EMDR with somatic integration
• Restoration Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

These practices support reconnection with your inner wisdom, emotional resilience, and the deeper integration that leads to meaningful transformation and a life that feels truly aligned.

In Human Design, I am a 2/4 Emotional Manifestor on the Cross of the Four Ways—initiating, leading, and catalyzing positive change. As an attuned change agent, I empower aligned action through a collaborative process grounded in empathy and authenticity.

Our work together can both ground you and elevate you.

Every path I’ve taken has led me here: to walk beside you as you reclaim yourself, tap into your inner wisdom and strengths, and live the empowered life you were meant to live!
