About Me

Hi, I’m Lisa. I’m an EMDR certified therapist, and I work with clients across the lifespan. I especially enjoy working with children and teens, and with the younger parts of adults that still carry old hurts. I integrate EMDR with Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Brainspotting, so if your system needs us to slow down, get to know a protective part first, or follow what your body is telling us, we can do that instead of forcing a protocol that doesn’t fit you. EMDR doesn’t have to feel heavy or clinical to work, so we will follow your lead.

I’m also the owner and clinical director of The Comfy Place, a group practice with EMDR trained therapists on our team. If my schedule, your location, or your preferences point to someone else, we’ll help match you with a therapist who is a good fit. Either way, you’re welcome here.

I’m licensed in GA, PA, FL, SC, MA, RI, VT, ME, NH, and UT, and I offer telehealth in each of these states.

Education & Experience

I hold a Master’s in Social Work with a background in Biology and Psychology, and I’m licensed as an LCSW and LICSW. My clinical work has centered on children, teens, young adults, adults, and families working through trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, stress and anger, and family conflict, and I provide individual, family, and group therapy.

As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, I offer consultation for therapists working toward EMDR certification. I especially love helping clinicians adapt EMDR for kids and adolescents and bring parts work into their sessions. If you want a consultant who understands that child sessions rarely go according to the script, I’d love to connect.
