Relationship Therapy for People Who Thrive Through Connection
(Re)building trust, understanding, and closeness.
The health of your relationships directly affects your well-being.
Have you been struggling with communication challenges or a loss of connection in your most important relationships? Conflict and disconnection from the person you rely on for understanding and comfort can lead to painful feelings of depression, anxiety, loneliness, or a feeling of being “stuck.”
Maybe you’re going through a major challenge, or starting your family, or want to deepen your bond as the children get older. There is so much to sort out and process. Having guidance and support from someone with expertise in attachment and secure bonding could mean a healthier, more resilient you, and a more enduring relationship arising after the storm.
No matter what you are facing, if you’re ready to better understand and more skillfully navigate what’s going on for you and your loved ones, I’m here to help. Relationships are my specialty, and I help people (re)build trust, understanding and closeness for those who thrive best in connection.

Here’s how I can help
Therapy for Individuals
If there’s been a major moment of change in your life, or perhaps a transition that’s got you questioning your relationships, motivations, strengths, or legacy – it can be difficult to know where to start or how to address what you’re feeling. Together, we’ll work through your emotions and roadblocks, and create a positive path forward.
Therapy for Couples
Stuck in a loop, in constant conflict, loosing your sexual connection, or struggling to work through a specific issue together? I work with a diverse range of couples in all stages and types of relationship, with straight couples and gay, lesbian, and queer couples of all genders who want to repair the deepening divide in their relationship.
Family Therapy
Growth can come from struggle, but having a guide to ensure that each family member feels seen, heard, understood and safe is an essential first step.
Support for Chosen Families
Have you been thinking about starting a family in your own way? Perhaps you’re considering adoption, egg or sperm donation, surrogacy, or co-parenting with a non-romantic partner.
I can help you, and all parties involved, understand how to approach this journey with clarity, forethought, and clear, honest communication, always keeping the well-being of your relationships and future children as the first priority.
“Love doesn’t just sit there,
like a stone, it has to be made, like bread;
remade all the time, made new.”
- Ursula K. Le Guin
Hi, I’m Lisa!
Having worked in the mental health field since 1987 and as a licensed clinical psychologist since 2000, I believe that therapy must be a mutual collaboration, a two-way street, for positive change to take place.
This is why I will take an active role in our conversations, asking meaningful questions, reflecting back, and providing thoughtful feedback and suggestions for the best path forward.
This also means that I’ll invite you to share your goals for therapy, giving priority to what you’d like to talk about, work through, and accomplish during our time together.
My highest priority is to create a working relationship with you that feels warm, understanding, honest, and encouraging. I look forward to helping you experience real growth in a safe and supportive environment.
