About Therapy

A note from Lisa
With me, therapy begins with genuine human connection. I believe the foundation for meaningful change comes from the trust we build together. My approach is compassionate, and curious, creating a space where you can share openly and feel truly heard.
​Together, we’ll explore what’s happening in your life, make sense of your experiences, and work toward the emotional health and balance you’re seeking. I believe in change through therapy.​There’s no single perfect path, only the one that’s uniquely yours. Therapy with me is a collaborative process. We’ll co-create an approach that fits your goals, supports your growth, and evolves as you do. I draw from a range of modalities including ACT, DBT, RO-DBT, Unified Protocol (UP), somatic practices, breathwork, and emotion focus practices to best support your needs.
I continue to deepen my expertise in these areas through ongoing training, building upon the strong foundation I developed at the University of Chicago’s Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice and Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy.
​I have a special interest and background in supporting individuals in their 20s and 30s. Let's connect to learn more or to schedule.
