Hi! I’m Lisa, a licensed mental health clinician based in Georgetown, Seattle. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages to process challenges, break old patterns, and move toward the life they want to live.

In my practice, I specialize in certified, expansive, and trauma-informed Brainspotting for teens and adults. I am EMDR trained for all ages. I also have a deep passion for working with children. To deepen this work, I am currently completing a year-long advanced program at Antioch University on my journey to become a Registered Play Therapist (RPT), utilizing an integrative approach rooted in child-centered play therapy. 

Therapy with me is entirely collaborative. We will work together at your pace to set goals and navigate your journey over time. There is no need to "be ready" or even know exactly what you want to talk about before our sessions; feeling unsure is a completely normal part of the process. Together, we will work through difficult feelings, physical sensations, or painful memories to clear mental blocks and open up new possibilities.

My Background & Approach to Performance Anxiety

Outside of the clinic, I strive to live a balanced life. I am a dedicated athlete; I swam short-distance at the University of Washington and now compete in canoe paddling. I enjoy hiking and spending time with friends and animals.

Because of my background, I am highly passionate about working with youth and adult athletes, as well as high-performing professionals. I specialize in helping individuals who face intense pressure to be perfect, which often manifests as anxiety, freezing, fawning, disordered eating, or a lost sense of identity.
