Lisa received her Master’s of Social Work in 1994 and has worked in the field of social work in hospital, community mental health, school and in church settings since 1987. Her work has been primarily in private practice providing children, individual, couple, family and group therapy. Through Missio Seminary, Lisa completed a series of advanced trauma classes with the Global Trauma Recovery Institute. In the fall of 2020, she completed Jay Stringers Unwanted training. As a certified trainer, she meets with those wanting freedom from troubling, unwanted and/or addictive sexual behavior. She finds herself most often sitting with others in the spaces of anxiety, depression, trauma (childhood, sexual, domestic, physical and health), relationship pain, addiction, grief, panic, self-harm, couples pain and suicide.
I take an integrated approach to counseling, drawing upon a variety of counseling theories and methodologies. My goal is to provide a safe place to navigate life's challenges, experience growth, and find solutions through life's most complex and difficult matters.
