Lisa is originally from Brooklyn, NY, then lived in the Boston area for many years which is when she first opened her private practice. She is now in Connecticut and continues to provide quality therapeutic services to clients. Due to being surrounded by a myriad of cultures growing up, she has developed an understanding of cultures and has developed an appreciation for differences in people. She is an inclusive therapist who values every human being. Lisa has been told by clients often that her style of therapy is different from that of other therapists they have experienced in the past. She is interactive, collaborative, asks thought-provoking questions, and attempts to get to the core issue. She also tracks the efficacy of the therapy and reduces and removes barriers to that progress. She prides herself on "check-ins" with the client, to explore any concerns they have about the therapy, inquiring about their angle of progress and uses that information to enhance the services.
