Does this sound familiar?

You look at life and wonder, “Is this it?” 

You hear an inner voice telling you there is more for you.

Something feels off, something you can’t really describe with words. 

It feels like nobody understands you, and you may struggle to understand yourself. 

You overanalyze sometimes – a lot of the time, and it’s painful.

You want to see your relationship change, but avoid addressing the issues. 

People see you as put-together, but that’s not how you feel. They miss your emotions and your pain. 

Your inner critic will not stop judging.

Your relationships suffer,  leaving you to believe there is something wrong with you.

Though you crave genuine relationships, part of you is terrified, keeping you from taking risks and being vulnerable. You retreat, feeling isolated, and wondering if real connection is possible.

And then there are the bigger, existential questions that keep you up at night.

Existence, death and loneliness, freedom. This is the human condition and these questions deserve your time and attention. 

When you connect with others, it feels superficial… like you’re going through the motions. You want something deeper, something real. 

You want more, you want to change.

And you have no idea where to start.

Hi, I’M LISSA.


SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE. 

I work with individuals & couples collaboratively, guiding clients inward to listen, remember who they are, and express themselves fully.

I want to help you find your confidence, creativity, and a sense of wholeness that will lead to positive change.

The world can be overwhelming, and in response, we often block our direct experience. We have more questions than answers and the uncertainty that’s hard to shake.  Spring is in the air, change and growth are promising. This political climate is also challenging, changing and divisive.

Now is the time to find ourselves personally and in community support.

We are not designed to hold these experiences alone.

I am here to look at these things with you. 

We will sit, walk, and play, making space for all parts of your experience. 

I genuinely care for and connect with my clients, with the invitation to come and be as you are in any moment.

Most importantly, you’ll see more of yourself, and see differences emerge.

You can have the connections you desire and seek out what drives your passion.

You can come into full contact with your Self, and in so doing, expand your capacity for the deep relationships you crave. 

You will say YES to life.

That YES, that’s what you’ve been waiting for.

I’ll help you create the conditions for your true self to emerge.

Some clients arrive…

  • feeling swept by anxiety, depression and lack of clarity in what they want

  • at war with themselves

  • experiencing shame

  • afraid to connect, and tired of being alone

Some clients know what they want and don’t know how to get there. 

In our work together, we create a bond and in that, my clients get to know – and enjoy – parts of themselves they have never fully met or may have known in childhood.  

Creativity, imagination, wisdom, love... it’s all inside you already, ready for you. It’s just a matter of connecting to it. 

We’ll start with educating your nervous system, teaching it that regulation and stability are safe.

This is possible, even if it seems out of reach right now.

When you’re ready, you will  explore and gain clarity in what you want in life and how to move towards it.

I can help you expand, change, and become a more dimensional and liberated version of yourself – so you can show up fully in your relationships.

You can awaken your creativity, become curious in your relationships, and feel a sense of purpose you know is there.

Living life is an art, and we are all artists. 

Let’s work together to get you there. 

I’m ready whenever you are.
