About Lisa
Hi there.
As a former corporate marketing and business development executive, I understand both the internal and external pressures placed on you to succeed. Like you, I worked in demanding, high-performance environments across investment banking, digital marketing, and technology. I hold business degrees from the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business and Harvard Business School.
I utilize a range of therapeutic approaches in my practice to ensure comprehensive support for my clients. These approaches include Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), and Gottman. Additionally, I am actively involved in the Center for Reflective Communities, an affiliate of the New Center of Psychoanalysis, where I serve on the Board of Directors.
As a therapist in Hermosa Beach, I offer a range of services to cater to your individual, couple, and family therapy needs. Whether you prefer in-person sessions or the convenience of online therapy, I am here to provide support tailored to your specific situation. My goal is to assist you in navigating through life's challenges and helping you find your way back to feeling like yourself again.
I provide individual, couples, and family therapy in Hermosa Beach, both in-person and online for California.
My Approach
How do people change? After decades of hard-earned wisdom through difficult challenges, I learned that change results from within and as a result of the quality of the relationship between the therapist and client. Across the many different approaches to therapy, the most important factor is your relationship with the therapist as an agent to change.
In my journey, earning an Ivy League degree and working for Fortune 500 companies taught me in the accomplishment of my highest professional goals, a sense of meaning and joy is derived from a relationship with myself, my partner, and my community.
Warm and compassionate, I am a deep listener. I am also grounded, so we can remain focused on resolving the issues that brought you into therapy in the first place. Together, we will work towards your goals.
If you're ready to take the first step towards positive change, don't hesitate to reach out. Feel free to contact me directly by phone or email to schedule your consultation. Whether you prefer in-person sessions in Hermosa Beach or online therapy for California residents, I am here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.
The address of this Hermosa Beach therapist's office in Hermosa Beach, CA is 2615 East Pacific Coast Highway, Hermosa Beach, CA, 90254.
