Many people I work with know something needs to change, but feel unsure how to move forward.
You may be experiencing:
Constant overthinking or rumination you can’t shut off
Anxiety that feels hard to control or always “on”
Intrusive thoughts or OCD patterns that feel stuck or overwhelming
Emotional heaviness connected to past experiences
Feeling stuck in a major life transition or decision
What you’re really looking for is clarity, stability, and tools that actually help you feel better in daily life.
Hi, I’m Lisa. I work with adults in California who are struggling with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel stuck in cycles of worry, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm, or are trying to make sense of thoughts, feelings, or past experiences that won’t go away on their own.
I help clients with:
Anxiety and chronic worry
OCD and intrusive thoughts
Trauma and unresolved past experiences
Life transitions and decision paralysis
My work is collaborative, grounded, and skills-based. I draw from:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD
EMDR for trauma and unresolved experiences
We focus on:
Identifying triggers and patterns that keep you stuck
Interrupting cycles of rumination, avoidance, and reassurance-seeking
Processing past experiences that still impact you today
Building tools to help you feel more regulated and in control
My work is influenced by my own experience of navigating major life transitions and uncertainty. I understand what it feels like to be at a crossroads, knowing something needs to change, but not being fully sure how to take the step forward. If you’re ready to feel less overwhelmed and more steady in yourself, I’d be glad to support you. Let’s get you moving in a direction that feels better.
