About My Clients

I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from various backgrounds, including children, teens, young adults, and adults. I specialize in mood disorders, personality disorders, trauma, and relationship issues. My ideal clients are those ready to grow and adapt, willing to engage in the sometimes tough but rewarding journey of healing. I especially value clients who are open to teaming up with me to find beauty in the wreckage and create a foundation for a healthier future.

My Background and Approach

I view counseling as a collaborative process between us, where your safety, trust, and openness are the foundation. Together, we’ll explore, learn, and work toward your goals. While some conversations may be challenging (it’s part of the process), I’ll be right there with you. We’ll laugh, cry, and grow together, always keeping your well-being at the forefront. I believe therapy is about humans helping humans, and I value mutual accountability in this journey. Feel free to tell me what you need—I'm here to listen and adapt. My aim is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered as we navigate your path to healing and growth.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Nice to meet you! I’m Lisa, a Licensed Associate Counselor in New Jersey. I understand how awkward it can feel to open up to someone new, so here’s a bit about me to break the ice. Along with my passion for mental health, I’m an animal lover, a vegetarian foodie, and a firm believer in balance. I value relationships with those around me, but I also believe deeply in the importance of our relationship with ourselves, even when it's tough. I love spending time with loved ones, cooking, adventuring, and, oddly enough, relaxing to true crime. I approach my clients as whole people—physical, mental, and spiritual wellness all matter. I believe in open communication, transparency, and the power of balance in life, and I hope to help you find that in your own journey.
