COUPLES

 

We have been to two other therapists during our 18 year relationship and Lisa was the best fit for us – most importantly because my husband felt comfortable with her. She never made either of us feel “wrong” and wasn’t too “touchy feely” but provided us the process and path to grow based on our individual paces and styles. The process was very comfortable for us both. Friends have asked for her information after seeing the progress my husband and I made and are having a similar experience. Lisa is a good fit for anyone that is ready to elevate their relationship and who wants a guide who allows both individuals to feel comfortable along the path to a better relationship.

Is your schedule so busy that therapy doesn’t become a priority until there is a crisis?

Studies tell us couples often wait six years after conflicts arise until they finally begin therapy. But the longer you avoid therapy and addressing your issues, the more entrenched or damaging they become.

I use solution-focused, research-based strategies that address core issues and conflicts, as well as provide brief exercises and goals with action plans that fit into your busy schedule.

Learn new research-based strategies derived from couples therapy researchers and authors such as John Gottman, Sue Johnson (EFT) and Esther Perel.
