Hello!
I am a trained clinical social worker with 16 years of experience. My experience is in major hospital systems in New York City, Houston, and New Jersey and the past three years specifically servicing BetterHelp subscribers. Most of my experience involves bringing tranquility, organization, and resolution to very complex and emotional situations. I utilize cultural sensitivity and my experience to navigate diverse backgrounds and work through the challenges being faced.
In my work, I have been involved during times of stress and anxiety, challenging relationships, life changes, and many more. My goal is to listen to what is causing stress and offer the support needed to overcome it or manage it better. I hope to offer some tools to utilize in navigating these challenging situations for a more optimal outcome.
I have traveled to various cities such as Bangkok, Paris, Madrid, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Cancun, Caribbean, London, Amsterdam, San Diego, Chicago, Oklahoma City, Memphis, Orlando, San Francisco, Montreal, Calgary, Banff, Edmonton, and more. During my travels, I mainly focus on learning about the culture and understanding the history of the area and its people.
My passion is to help and coach people to be their best selves!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Lisa let me take as much time as I needed to "tell my story" Then we worked on measurable goals. I could not be more pleased
When I talk to Lisa, I always feel like I'm being heard, understood. While our sessions can be hard, or painful; I always feel lighter and more empowered at the end. She's supportive, knowledgeable, genuine and funny. 5 stars! All around!
Lisa’s approach is genuine, kind, and with best intentions in mind. She is clear in her explanations and always seeks to understand. She leads each session with curiosity and has been so helpful.
Lisa has really made a difference to the way I process my thoughts and emotions. She is able to understand and bring a light sense of humour to our conversations which just makes me really warm to her as a person. I didn't think talking n to a therapist would make me look forward to our sessions so much. Truly grateful she came into my life.
Very helpful. Willing to push me to address uncomfortable issues
Lisa is great. She is kind and supportive. But also will tell you what you need to hear. A great mix of stern but fair. Just what I needed.
Lisa is great
Lisa is a fantastic therapist. She takes the time to get to know you patiently and offers her helpful insights. She is fantastic and I highly recommend Lisa.
Compassionate, sensitive and supportive.
Lisa is incredible! She’s super supportive and the best listener!
Lisa really listens to me. And what I really like is that she will tell me things that I may not want to hear but I definitely need to hear. But she’s never harsh or judgmental. I just feel that she wants the best for me and truly wants to help me. Plus, she’s fun to talk to you which makes the whole process so much easier for.
Lisa is kind, empathetic, compassionate, professional, and funny! Highly recommend. She has great insight and truly wants to help you become a better version of yourself.
Miss Lisa has been there for me for about 6 months now, and every session she points something out I can improve on. I enjoy talking to her, as she always keeps the mood fairly light, but knows when to transition into seriousness. Would highly recommend!
I really enjoyed working with Lisa. She has a very calming presence and extremely easy to talk to. Very respectful and punctual. I look forward to having Lisa as my therapist in the future!
Lisa is a gem! She is highly skilled, caring and she hears and understands me. Lisa been a big help with my current and past challenges. Thank you, Lisa!
Lisa is great! I truly feel as if she is knowledgeable, experienced and I feel very comfortable with her as my Therapist.
She is fantastic and helped me through the hardest loss of my life. Don't know where I'd be without her
Lisa has been truly amazing and she’s so supportive and an amazing listener. I’ve only been talking to her for a few weeks but she’s made a huge impact already and I’m excited to keep talking to her.
I honestly can't believe the difference in how I feel today than I did before I started talking to Lisa. She is such a great listener and provided me with great advice. I love her sense of humor which helps to keep things light. I can't praise Lisa enough. She has truly helped me to change my life for the better.
Lisa is very kind and open to any sort of topic I want to discuss. She is not only a mentor but also a friend to me.
Lisa listens and actually hears what I am saying and offers advice, possible solutions or whatever is needed for what I am saying.
I have been through a few counsellors but, they don’t match up to Lisa. She consistently arrives on time, helps push you where you need to go and makes you feel like you’re not alone. She supports me throughout my feelings of depression and anxiety, has gone above and beyond through her checkins and helps me advocate for myself in the best way. I’m unbelievably grateful to have met her.
I love that she knows what worksheets will help me when I need to reference in real time at home. A single session helps me learn more about myself and feel more confident.
I love Lisa. She has a ton of empathy and emotional intuition. She is a fantastic listener! She makes me feel at ease so quickly and she feels so trustworthy. She also has a really funny spunky sense of humor. She's truly a therapist I genuinely like and trust.
Truly a great therapist. She has helped me in many ways through the hardest month of my life. Very grateful i found her.
Lisa is professional and pay attention to the details.
Lisa has been great to open up to and start this healing journey with
Lisa has a very kind and gentle approach with communicating. I find her knowledge very helpful and grounding.
Lisa is great. She is mellow, understanding, and good at guiding the session. With Past therapists I would dread my session. Now if I’m down I sometimes feel a little anxious about going to therapy but I know Lisa always will make it a pleasant, eye opening and productive experience
I can’t stress enough how helpful Lisa has been. She always has the best advice and also the right things to say. She also provides me with useful resources and exercises to help me through my ups and downs. She is the best.
Lisa is just so friendly and nice that she immediately puts you at ease. I appreciate how supportive she is and helps to keep me thinking positive when I start going down my usual path of negative thoughts. I’ve been working to incorporate the suggestions she’s given me and while it’s hard to break old habits I can feel it’s making a difference. I’ve enjoyed working with Lisa and look forward to her helping me make even more progress.
Lisa just comes across as a real human being. Plus, she is professional, in every shape, form and fashion.
Lisa listen to me and help me summarize what are now messy in my head. She gave me worksheet to practice which help me build up my confidence.
Thank you Lisa :)
Lisa is a great listener, she seems to understand the areas I am struggling with and helps me work on them. I feel comfortable even though it’s hard for me to express my thoughts clearly. I walk away with a feeling I’m understood.
So far, so good. She's great, even though we're just starting this journey, I feel confident in the process and have no reason not to trust her.
She listens to me and give immediate advice.
Lisa is attempting to help me and I realize I’m a very difficult case. A recent break up has caused me to lapse into a very serious depression and I can’t seem to rebound from it.
She is amazing.
Lisa is the best. She has a listening ear, but also offers helpful advice when navigating this thing called life. I love and cherish our interactions as she provides a safe place for me to communicate my thoughts and concerns. Her assistance has truly been beneficial thus far.
