I’m excited about helping people become aware of how they create barriers to authentic human contact in their relationships and helping to transform those that don’t serve them in a healthy way.

I love to work with people who are willing to learn to take personal responsibility in how they make contact in their relationships.

I love to work with people who want to really engage with their own growth.

A somatic psychotherapist and registered dance/movement therapist, I am passionate about nurturing change through collaboration with my clients. I believe meaningful and enduring change comes about through a combination of authentic relationship, accessing and respecting the unconscious, courage, new experiences, and practice.

I blend subtle somatic techniques, dance/movement therapy, dreamwork, and close attention to words and stories to facilitate clients’ access to the potent keys of transformation that lie within.

My areas of particular interest and specialization include working with the somatic impacts of oppression, trauma, body image, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and self-actualization.

I also work with child clients through play therapy and dance/movement therapy.

Vocal Empowerment Therapy is a set of non-judgmental, body-centered, and creative processes combined to help you:

Connect your body, mind and spirit with your voice. Build a relationship with your Higher Self as your own best teacher and guide.

Your body is the instrument and channel for what moves through you and beyond. This includes your breath, voice and energy, as well as feelings, thoughts, sensations and spirit. You can try to control everything you do or surrender to something greater, allowing your body and voice to resound with all the colors of who you are.

Each client arrives with their own goals, gifts and also blocks to those gifts. My MA in Vocal Performance, deep study of body-centered therapies, and personal journey beyond trauma make me uniquely qualified to this meaningful work.

Lisa has a Masters in Counseling Psychology with a clinical focus on Parent Coaching, Couples, Women/ Mothers, Family Therapy, Divorce & Life Coaching as well as Autism Spectrum, 'difficult' children and family systems.

In each of us lies a deep wisdom and innate capacity for healing. That wisdom lies within our hearts, minds and bodies. Every moment is an opportunity to explore and discover our fullest potential. The human self is not a static entity. We are always unfolding and becoming. Sometimes, trauma cuts us off from this process of unfolding. Many of us have learned habitual coping strategies in response to traumatic environments. Later in life, these strategies may become "fixed" and automatic. This can lead us to feeling constricted, limiting our capacity for connection with the world around us.

Life doesn't have to be that way. I'd love to help you re-connect with your own aliveness.

As a therapist my goal is to help you live bravely through the struggle, which means to bravely take things as they come and work with them in an effort to make you stronger and less encumbered by the struggles of life.

You connect to whatever is not working in your life that creates a block and transform that pain back to power so you can create your best career, relationship and life. You work all three, mind, energy and body systems as one integrative empowered change modality.

Are you ready to embrace life? Not just get by, but to FLOURISH personally and in relationship? Life has a way of getting the better of us and over time chipping away at our deepest dreams and best intentions. It's no wonder we sometimes feel lost or trapped with no idea how to reach out or turn things around. You CAN have transformation in your life and relationships! This work is of the deepest nature. You will learn to honor yourself and live with authenticity, integrity, and intention. When you do this, all other aspects of your life start to align and come into balance.

The Intimacy Institute for Sex & Relationship Therapy offers compassionate counseling for couples and individuals. Sex therapy is a specialized area of psychotherapy. We have a team of three trained sex therapists. We offer support to enhance sexual functioning, pleasure, and knowledge. Because sexual intimacy cannot exist without emotional intimacy, we are trained in couples therapy and blend the best practices in both sex and relationship therapy. Common issues in sex therapy include desire discrepancy, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, painful intercourse, reclaiming sex after cancer, out of control sexual behaviors (sex addictions), healing after the affair, supporting alternative sexual expressions and unconventional turn-ons, and navigating non-monogamous & polyamorous relationships.
