More About Lisa
I have two master's degrees, one in school psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and one in clinical mental health counseling from Viterbo University with an emphasis in integrative health and wellness. I have an educational specialist degree in school psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire as well. I worked in a school setting for many years and have worked in an outpatient behavioral setting, both intensive and in the primary care clinic.
I am particularly passionate about supporting others going through difficult transitions and those going through grief and loss. While these are key focus areas, I also see clients with a wide range of other needs who are often looking for help with stress management, coping with anxiety and depressive symptoms, or who just need a safe space to talk and feel.
Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy exploring different creative avenues and spending time with my family. I love going on adventures and completing side quests. I also try to do as much yoga, hiking, reading, and writing as I can. These interests reflect my belief in balance and self-discovery, values I encourage in my clients as well.
Words matter. Sometimes I see a quote that hits right in the soul. Do any of these resonate with you?
"The only way out...is through."
"Accept it, change it, or leave it."
"What you are afraid to do is a clear indication of the next thing you need to do." Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the consequences of my own actions."
"I release all of my fears, pain, and hurt from the past. I allow myself to change, grow, and step into the light. I am strong. I am worthy. I am powerful beyond measure."
"When you learn the lesson, the lesson will stop showing up."
"Someone I loved once gave me a box of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift." Mary Oliver
