Counseling
Does this resonate with you?
You know the life you want, yet it seems miles away. Deep down you know you are capable of creating the love, life, career, and relationships you desire, but everyday living keeps you away from your dream. You try to be grateful, and the weight of modern living and the old voices in your head keep you stuck.
"I'm not good enough."
"I'm not worthy of love."
"I don't know what to do."
You feel lost, living with a desire that longs to be ignited, to be lived. No one is coming to lift you up, and hope fades. To mask the pain, you:
Distract yourself with work
Spiral into addictive behaviors
Beat yourself up
You Are Not Alone
All these feelings & attempts to navigate the complexities of today are very much normal. Not helpful, but normal reactions to abnormal circumstances. The pressures of today and a culture of "do more" fuel disconnection from ourselves and the life we seek.

You Deserve to Thrive. I Can Help.
Hi, I'm Lisa (she/her)
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate & Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach located in Paonia, Colorado. With over fourteen years of experience in the emotional wellness field, I intimately understand the weight of modern living, particularly as an HSP (highly sensitive empathic person) - and how it impacts our ability to feel balanced, happy, and whole.
I integrate years of mindfulness practice, creativity, humor, somatic tools, self-compassion, and EMDR to help you transcend barriers and embrace yourself and life wholeheartedly.
Thich Nhat Hanh
“The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.”
My approach
It's important for you to know that I approach therapy from a non-judgmental and empathetic perspective. I believe that every individual is unique, and therefore, I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs and goals. I value open and honest communication, so please feel free to express any concerns or questions you may have throughout our sessions. Therapy is a process, and I believe in the value of a confidential therapeutic relationship. It's important to be patient and kind to yourself as we work through your challenges. I am here to facilitate the therapeutic/healing process, and I look forward to embarking on this journey together.
Cultural Humility
Despite my professional training & life experiences, I infuse my work with curiosity and a deep sense of humility. While I have done much work on myself to uncover biases, I know that we all carry blind spots - myself included. Regardless of your background, I will work collaboratively and inquisitively to understand your true experience - together.
Evidence-based
To support our work together, it's crucial to use time-tested tools and proven skills to be safe, effective, and aligned with the needs of each client.
I am trained in EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I blend these modalities to tailor your care.
Innerconnected
Understanding that we are more than our thoughts or symptoms remains one of the core components of my work. Each person is a work of art, a combination of our families, friends, culture, ancestry, biology, and the moment. We will gently explore your Inner Being from a place of wholeness and strength to help you reclaim your balance and wellness.

“Thank you” is not enough!!

"You are definitely an important part of why this experience is working so well for me, Lisa.
You ask key questions. You validate my progress, not with empty “congratulations!” or vapid “way to go!” clichés, but with keen observations that signal significant growth actions that I can reflect further upon.

"You helped me in so many ways. You became my lifeline when everything was so dark. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
