EMDR in California

Hi, I’m Lisa. I work with adults who feel alone. I support clients that feel abandoned, as if they do not matter. The work we do together focuses on reprocessing trauma, learning to set boundaries while releasing the guilt that comes with it, rebuilding self-worth, and developing skills to break free from the cycles of emotional dysregulation.

Sessions with me integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic approaches with skills to help identify values, set boundaries without guilt, regulate emotions, and build self-worth.

I am EMDR certified, an EMDRIA-approved EMDR consultant, and certified in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy. I am also trained in IFS integration, Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, and a Registered Yoga Teacher.

So, enough about me. Let’s talk! Schedule a free 20 minute phone or video consultation using the button below.

I look forward to meeting you.

About Virtual Therapy

Virtual Therapy in California

Is Virtual therapy effective

I am often asked, does virtual therapy work? Even though it’s been around for over three decades, research on its effectiveness didn’t really gain traction until recently. While my own experience as a therapist has shown me just how powerful virtual therapy can be, I also believe in the importance of research. The good news is that research backs this up, with a recent study finding that virtual therapy resulted in comparable symptom reduction to in person therapy, and these benefits also remained consistent at follow up visits.
