As a licensed mental health counselor practicing statewide in Florida, I specialize in empowering individuals—especially women and neurodivergent individuals—to overcome obstacles, build self-esteem, and cultivate a life led by intention and purpose rather than guilt. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding and addressing the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals, including those on the autism spectrum, with ADHD, or other neurodiverse conditions. At the same time, I am equally passionate about supporting women as they navigate anxiety, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. I strive to create a supportive environment where all my clients, regardless of their background or challenges, can feel understood, validated, and empowered.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Creative Writing from the University of Central Florida and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wake Forest University. I am a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CCMCH®) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC®) through the National Board of Certified Counselors and Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida.
In my practice, I offer tailored support to individuals navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, stress, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. I also work closely with neurodivergent individuals and their families, helping them to build resilience, improve self-advocacy, and navigate the complexities of neurodiversity with confidence and clarity. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore their inner strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, and build the confidence to lead a fulfilling life.
When I am not in session, I am likely taking a yoga class, preparing nourishing meals, exploring nature, or spending time with my loved ones.
Hi, I’m Lisa!
Approach to
Therapy
As humans, we are influenced, not defined by our relationships and pasts. It is important to understand that connection before we can successfully change our behaviors. I believe that everyone has the capacity for real change and that often occurs in the space between the known and unknown. The development of a genuine, trusting therapeutic relationship with clients’ is a fundamental component in the effectiveness of therapy. It is truly an honor to be a therapist and I consider myself privileged to bear witness to my client’s stories and their subsequent growth.
I practice from an approach that is compassionate, straight forward, and collaborative. I understand that everyone’s circumstances are unique and enjoy getting to know my clients and what brought them to where they are today. In therapy, we will work together to co-create a space that is comfortable and safe for you to heal. I will offer support and practical strategies to empower you to let go of self-judgment, guilt, and maladaptive patterns. And most importantly, I will empower you to become a more aligned and confident version of yourself.
The therapeutic techniques I use come from a variety of schools of thought, including cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, EMDR, and compassion-based mindfulness. I appreciate the use of humor in therapy and pride myself on being appropriately lighthearted in our work together. I am a therapist who is collaborative in nature and will provide my feedback and insights when appropriate. I also welcome and encourage your feedback, I believe therapy should be an empowering experience, you are in control of what you would like to work on, and I am committed to guiding you on your personal growth journey.
My specialties:
I am deeply committed to helping women, neurodivergent individuals, and their families build the confidence to lead lives that align with their core values, free from the constraints of guilt and self-doubt. Through my work, I assist clients in developing the resilience, self-compassion, and self-advocacy necessary to face life’s challenges with clarity and purpose.
My areas of expertise include (but are not limited to): Anxiety, Relationship Challenges, Stress-reduction, Self-esteem Issues, Navigating Life Transitions and Neurodivergence.
