"Finding the right therapist can be a difficult business. It's all in the match."
Lisa Ann
My style in working with clients is positive, straightforward, and supportive. I believe wholeheartedly in the possibility of change, and that the deepest, most powerful change starts on the inside.
Therapeutic Approach
I craft my skills from Family Systems, Developmental Psychology, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, common sense, and years of parenting my three sons.
Therapy is a collaborative partnership between myself and my client. Together we focus on the client's behaviors, thoughts, emotions, goals, and hopes.
