I am in the process of opening a psychotherapy practice after taking some time off. Lisa has taken the time to help me to gain direction in an invaluable way. Through our meetings I have developed an understanding of her work and clinical practice. Her clients should feel lucky to have a clinician who is so dedicated to their growth and development. It is amazing to see the commitment she shows towards continuing education in the field. Lisa is compassionate, warm and insightful.
