About Lisa

About Me- In 1997 I began my career as a Social Worker working with children and teens who were experiencing complex mental health needs. Supporting my clients both in their homes as well as at school. I then moved to a position working with pregnant and parenting teens.  I counseled teens and connected them with parenting, housing, educational, financial and mental health resources.  

For 15 years I provided individual, group, and classroom level counseling in schools.  Because I have experience in schools in addition to having a private practice, I’m able to understand how mental health diagnosis plays out in the classroom.  I love what I do and I’m lucky to be able to blend my school counseling knowledge with private practice.


Staying current on training and research in mental health is essential to my effectiveness as a therapist.  Throughout the year I attend workshops, read books and articles, and do coursework at home.  When I’m not working you’ll find me sitting on my porch swing, taking walks, doing yoga, and playing games with my family.

Good Faith Estimate

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
