Trauma & OCD
Therapy for Women

Buffalo, NY & Throughout New York

In this space, all parts of you are welcome

Sometimes the parts we fight the hardest are the ones that have been trying to protect us the longest.

Welcome.

Hello, I’m Lisa.

It is my passion and privilege to work with women who have experienced traumatic events. Whether stemming from childhood trauma, abuse, betrayal, or significant life changes, this pain often manifests as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties.

I also specialize in helping individuals struggling with OCD, including intrusive thoughts, anxiety, compulsions, and patterns that can feel exhausting and difficult to break.

You do not have to go through this alone. I'm dedicated to helping you heal, replace harsh self-talk with self-compassion, and reconnect with the strength you already have. Together, we will explore and understand the deeper roots of your pain, rather than simply focusing on the symptoms.
