Many of the people I work with know something needs to change, but feel unsure how to move forward. Therapy helps you understand what’s keeping you stuck and build practical ways to move through it. You might be here because life feels mentally exhausting or emotionally heavy, and you’re ready for something to change. You may be dealing with constant overthinking, anxiety that feels hard to control, intrusive thoughts or OCD symptoms, unresolved experiences from the past, or feeling stuck during a major life transition or decision. What you’re looking for is clarity, stability, and practical tools that actually help you feel better.

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.

In therapy, we focus on helping you understand what’s driving these patterns and giving you evidence-based tools to change them. My approach is collaborative and practical, combining CBT, EMDR, ERP-informed work to help you reduce anxiety, process what’s been difficult, and feel more grounded and in control of your life.

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 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.
