Holistic-minded therapy for “Helpers & Healers” with anxiety, relationship issues, and grief.
You can be great at helping others (personally or professionally), but now it is time to focus on YOU.
let’s be honest:
Wearing the “I’ve got it all together” mask when you’re caring for others is exhausting. The burnout is real.
Whether you care for others as a part of your profession or your heart has just always felt pulled to help others, it can take a toll on you mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. It doesn’t mean you should give up helping others, but it does mean that you need prioritize your needs too.
Anxiety/Self-Doubt/Stress
Relationship Issues
Grief
Maybe you…
Have tried therapy before…but are still struggling with anxiety or feeling “not good enough”.
Too often, therapy focuses only on managing symptoms without really understanding the root cause, so things like anxiety, self-doubt and stressful relationship patterns just come creeping back.
Are stuck in a relationship or career that doesn’t feel fulfilling…because you don’t know how to pay attention to your own needs/desires.
When you are praised and rewarded for wonderfully caring for others, it is easy to lose sight of your own needs and desires. Maybe for you, this pattern started early in childhood, if your caregivers didn’t attune to your feelings and needs—so the way you received attention was by caring for others. Now you have a nagging voice inside that knows you want something better, but you have no idea how to get it.
Already read the self-help books, listen to podcasts and follow positive stuff on social media…but you still struggle with being tough on yourself .
It can be challenging to absorb all of the positive information, if your old belief patterns automatically respond with reasons why that positive stuff can’t really apply to you! Again, if you don’t heal the root cause, then all the positive stuff will bounce right off of you or even make you feel worse.
Hi, I’m Lisa.
I’m here to show up as my authentically-imperfect self, so that you know you’re not alone—maybe for the first time in your life.
Can a therapist be compassionate, spiritual (not religious) and swear a lot, all in one session? Yes! I show up as the authentic me to help you discover the authentic you!
Yes, I have the degrees and 25 years of experience as a therapist; these give me some credibility. But what will foster a greater sense of connection is how I show up with you in session as a real person—and btw, do not get me started on how terribly t.v. and movies portray therapists! I have been on my own healing journey, and will continue to be. I intentionally create a space where you can be authentic: the good, the bad and the ugly are all welcome to show up, because I know I have needed judgment-free places so I could understand myself better too.
I am here to walk alongside you on your journey of self-discovery, and guide you in creating a life with more ease and confidence!
You already know a lot of stuff about what people need to feel better. That’s why having a typical therapist isn’t going to be enough for you, and here’s what I will help you do differently:
-
You might have survived significant abuse or neglect as as a child, but what if these were not a part of your experience? Did you realize that you can have significant emotional struggles just from having parents that didn’t pay enough attention to your emotions, or if they didn’t manage their own?
I will help you explore how aspects of your childhood (aka, the roots) from a new perspective, so that you can see how these patterns are showing up in your present. Think of the analogy “We have to move the furniture to see the dust if we want to understand why we keep sneezing.” -
You might have wondered why the same relationships and experiences seem to keep happening in your life, over and over again: “Why does everyone leave me? Why do I keep getting overlooked? How do I keep dating basically the same guy?” Our beliefs about ourselves not only influence our choices, but I’ll offer an additional consideration: You energetically attract more of what you believe to be true, like a magnet! Many people refer to this as manifesting, but don’t realize that the determining factor is not in what you say, but rather what you feel.
I will show you how to become aware of what you are attracting, and how to start shifting what you attract to you!
-
Whether you align with a particular religion or not, you have access to Greater Loving Forces in the Universe that are ready to support and guide you! My role is never to force beliefs upon you, but rather to invite you to develop a deeper, authentic connection with your Higher Power, so that you can have actual experiences that demonstrate that you are supported and loved. These experiences help to heal the rooted beliefs that we are not worthy, deserving or supported. For those that choose, we can incorporate tools such as meditation, tarot cards, and tapping into this spiritual connection for messages of support.
Let’s get started!
1
Reach out
You don’t just want any therapist, you want the right therapist for you—and the right chemistry is soooo important! That’s why I offer a complimentary consultation call, so that together we can feel out if we are a good match.
2
Get to work
For perhaps the first time in your life, this space gets to be about exploring you, as we create space for all of the precious parts of you that have been hidden for so long. Together we’ll start to map out how life events and beliefs about yourself are connected. When this happens in a space of compassion and non-judgment, beliefs start shifting.
3
See change
You’ll begin noticing how you speak more kindly to yourself, how you ask for your needs and desires, how much easier it is to hold boundaries, how much easier it is to “go with the flow”, and how much more fulfilling your relationships are!
