mY APPROACH…

Hi there! I'm Lisa, a licensed, dedicated Mental Health Therapist. Extensively trained in RO-DBT, an evidence based treatment that helps with Overcontrol. Including, perfectionism, high achieving, depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD + Disordered Eating.

On the personal side, I have a flair for creating, from elaborate meals, and DIY home projects to innovative business growth and social media that creates connection.

My journey began in childhood, as many do. Living in a world where much was out of my control. Learning about my developed coping mechanisms & challenging my own bias + beliefs led me to develop a deep love and passion for helping people. Ultimately leading me into a career in mental health.

My techniques blend empathetic, person centered curiosity with intentional feedback, and authenticity.

In our work together, we’ll explore your strengths and challenges with curiosity, compassion, and care. My goal is to build a strong & trusting partnership.

As we deepen your self understanding, we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck. We’ll develop practical skills to help you navigate challenges with greater ease and create lasting habits that support the life you want to live.

The DBT Approach…

I am a member of the DBT and Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT) gold standard consult team with DBT Eastside in Bellevue. The therapy I provide uses RO-DBT and DBT.

Gold Standard DBT + RO DBT= includes weekly skills classes, individual sessions, diary cards, and coaching calls.

Informed DBT + RO DBT= a lighter touch incorporating specific skills from the treatments that are relevant to your life.

RO- DBT helps individuals coping with stress, anxiety, and depression. It’s even been shown to help with ADHD, OCD, disordered eating, perfectionism and people pleasing.

Standard DBT helps individuals coping with strong emotions, impulse control, and relationship challenges.

My therapeutic approach is tailored to the individual client and their unique needs.
