Remote sessions meet you where you’re at
All therapy services are provided through secure, private telehealth sessions for clients throughout Arizona.
This means you can access specialized trauma therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space—without the added stress of commuting, waiting rooms, or time lost in transit.
For many clients, working in a familiar environment actually enhances the therapeutic process. It allows us to explore real-time experiences of stress, emotion, and nervous system responses as they naturally show up in daily life.
Whether you are navigating PTSD, childhood trauma, chronic pain, personal injury recovery, or ongoing stress-related symptoms, telehealth makes consistent, high-quality care more accessible and sustainable.
Therapy is not something you have to fit into your life.
It becomes something that can support your life, exactly where you are.
“Lisa was a true light house in my darkest time
35 years of trauma and I finally got help. I was able to open up and slowly let everything out. I was never forced to open up or forced prescriptions in any way, which was my biggest concern of seeking help. Lisa was patiently waiting until I did the biggest thing and open up my past to her. From there I learned more about myself and didn’t realize that I was harboring so much pain and hurt. I am happy now that I have truly faced my demons and Lisa was there every step of the way to lead me.
I never understood the phrase “it’s a journey” because the steps you take to come out of that canyon is all based on how much you are willing to truly let go. The remedy of the process is, you are finally free of it..and you are not alone with someone like Lisa guiding you through your journey. I am happy I found her and she has been a true light house in my darkest time.”

“Lisa genuinely cares and connects with NO JUDGEMENT
Lisa is extremely knowledgeable about trauma and PTSD and she created a personalized recovery plan, but let me set the pace and focus in each session. She genuinely cares and connects with her clients with NO JUDGEMENT. She answered all my questions in detail, in layman's terms, which was important because of my head injury.
You will feel peace of mind and freedom from fear of your emotions and you will see real progress with her help. Lisa teaches you ways to calm yourself and take control of what your feeling, to identify and manage triggers, to evaluate truth and negative/faulty thoughts. All to help you get to a place of healing you could never get to on your own.”
