More about me

Licensing: MSW, LCSW Years in Practice: 19 State: Illinois

"Hope is the feeling you have that the feeling you have isn't permanent." This quote by Jean Kerr is the reason I do what I do. Hope is a powerful feeling that is unfortunately all too easy to lose sight of. Let's work together to restore hopefulness and make the life changes that best serve you. I strive to help clients learn to cope with difficulty and live productively. I believe that to lead a fulfilling life, people need to feel supported and know that stress and conflict can be managed.

It is empowering to explore thoughts and understand the impact they have on our feelings and behaviors. The benefit of this process is learning how to shift our thinking so that even if the situation cannot change, our response to it can! I provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the Chicago area. working as an individual, couples and family therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, life transitions, career challenges, OCD and ADHD.

Life presents challenges that can cause us to become stuck in certain moments because of fear or just not knowing what direction to go. I offer empathetic and supportive services to help clients manage through those times. By working collaboratively to identify and acknowledge the current issues, a trusting and safe environment is created. That environment provides the opportunity for self reflection, challenging and changing of negative thought patterns, bringing about positive change and moving forward.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Lisa has helped change my life completely around! She’s not afraid to agree with me when I’m right and not afraid to disagree when I’m wrong. With her guidance I have a new outlook on life, I wish everyone could have as great of an experience as I have had with a therapist!

M.I.·Oct 11, 2021

Overall

Lisa has helped me manage several major changes in my life. She is thoughtful in her responses and is always there to check-in via video or messaging, which I so appreciate for consistency. She is truly understanding, empathetic and offers sound strategies for stress management, anxiety and depression. In a world that rapidly recalibrated post-pandemic, Lisa met the successive demands for the time with care and genuine, human connection. Her expertise has been a much-needed balm for me, especially this past year.

A.N.·Sep 29, 2021

Overall

Lisa has been an invaluable help to me. She makes different ways of communicating easily available, and was eager to adjust the use of the sessions/platform tools to whatever made me the most comfortable.

S.A.·Mar 26, 2021

Overall

Lisa is consistent in her approach, empathetic, and kind. She is a great listener and provides helpful feedback and reflection. I always leave sessions with her feeling heard and understood, and a better understanding of myself.

A.S.·Dec 18, 2020

Overall

Lisa was just an incredible person to work with. I work in the health care industry and was feeling like I was going to lose my mind with the COVID-19 virus first and second wave, she was just the best person for me during this time. She guides you on how to work with your feelings and grow from them, how to workout your brain and how you can train your thoughts to make life a little bit more manageable each day. I was suffering from crippling anxiety (that eventually turned into physical symptoms), panic attacks, depression and fatigue from work/COVID. She listens to you and reflects with you about how these situations are hard and that you have every right to these feelings. She also would provide a different perspective that would just help bring you back down to earth and reminds you that you are human and we can all grow from every hard situation and scenario. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Lisa and will always be grateful to her for the new perspective on life, and all of the new tools I have to help manage life which has made me feel like a better person. Thank you Lisa! I hope to reconnect with you soon!

Overall

I really appreciate Lisa and her therapy style. Instantly felt at ease and comfortable opening up to her. Even into the short amount of time we have been working together it feels like there has been personal growth. Lisa definitely makes me feel a little less insane after talking with her!

She is awesome!

M.E.·Oct 06, 2020

Overall

Lisa is the absolute best! She’s personable and professional at the same time (not sure how she does that). I’ve been working with her for over a year now, and she has noticed subtle things that have ended up having HUGE ripple effects in my life. Thank you Lisa!

S.U.·Jul 15, 2020

Overall

Working with Lisa is great. I sometimes wish she would respond more frequently but I understand that they are probably a lot of people she is working with due to the circumstances.

H.U.·Jun 02, 2020

Overall

I really enjoyed working with Lisa and even though our counseling was brief she was great at building the relationship quickly and responding with resources.

K.A.·May 19, 2020

Overall

Lisa is great! She really listens to my thoughts, offers input but not too much. She catches when I have questionable thought patterns but is understanding at the same time. She will also try different approaches when something doesn't seem to be working.

A.N.·Apr 04, 2020

Overall

I normally really struggle with trusting therapists, but this was not the case with Lisa. Upon our first session, I felt very comfortable talking to her about anything, even topics that can cause many to judge. I feel completely unjudged by Lisa. She truly listens to what I have to say and I look forward to my sessions with her.

M.A.·Jan 08, 2020

Overall

It was so easy to connect with Lisa from our very first conversation. I really appreciate her very practical approach and have really enjoyed our sessions. She's so authentic, genuine and real. Highly recommend!

Overall

She is great! She gives me information and ways to deal with my struggles.

K.I.·Jul 27, 2019

Overall

I've only had one session with Lisa, and look forward to spending the summer with more advice from her. From the one session we had, and the communication she has held with me upon return shows professionalism.

A.N.·Jul 09, 2019

Overall

Lisa helped me deal with some postpartum issues I've been having since the birth of my youngest son 8 months ago, particularly anxiety. She gave me the proper tools to use to recognize my triggers and equipped me with techniques for managing them in a more positive way. In only two months, she has helped me snap out of my mom funk, and for that I am eternally grateful. If you are dealing with postpartum depression and anxiety like I was (still am sometimes), I definitely recommend talking to Lisa.
