Family Wellness Clinician
As a clinician at Mountainside, Lisa focuses on how addiction has impacted the way the family system operates and collaborates with families to improve communication patterns, trust, and behavior in recovery that leads to healthier family relationships. With the belief that healing happens when individuals feel respected and genuinely heard, Lisa builds strong rapport through a person-centered approach grounded in empathy and compassion. She draws from a range of therapeutic modalities including the Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy to empower individuals and families in making meaningful changes that foster healing. In her free time, Lisa enjoys spending time with her family, reading, and listening to music.
