Hi, I'm Lisa. If you feel overwhelmed, can't shut your brain off and worry about many things, I understand. I have a passion for supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, and navigating daily life stressors and challenges. I support people to navigate big transitions and create the life they want. I believe our thinking pattern, and the way we interpret the world, influence behaviors and keep us in our current state. By adjusting these patterns we can begin to change the outcome. I work with people to build confidence, self-compassion and self-esteem, to move from stuck to thriving and live with more joy and heal. I support those who feel worried about the future or overthink, struggling with relationships, grieving or in transition and wishing the pain/stress would get better. I can help! I provide support & practical feedback & tools you can use and incorporate a blend of conventional & alternative approaches(yoga, mindfulness) working with thoughts & behaviors. I understand that taking the first step is the hardest. Clients often describe me as easy to talk to, effective, kind, non-judging and supportive. I understand the challenges with stress, anxiety, lack of support, grief/sadness and overwhelm. I love the work I do. Reach out and I am happy to answer any questions you have.

Life was supposed to get easier after high school, after college, after landing your dream job... but something still feels missing. Despite feeling like you have things 'figured out', you struggle to settle in and find balance. I specialize in working with anxiety, perfectionism and trauma. Some of the techniques I use when working with clients include EMDR, ERP, and sandray. Curiosity and compassion are the basis to my counseling approach. I know that reaching out for counseling for yourself can be a vulnerable process. If you’ve worked hard to figure it out on your own or are feeling like you’ve tried it all, it’s time to take a creative approach together. In our sessions, we will work together at your pace to understand the layers of your experience. I hope to help you find self-compassion, new perspectives, and healing

Hello! I'm Jacobia Williams, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with a passion for helping others to live their best lives. I've worked as a social worker in settings such as therapeutic foster care, hospitals, counseling, and schools for the last 20 years. My goal is to support you on your life's journey. We are all unique and have stories to tell, but it is important to be the narrator of that story. Many of us have faced challenges with our health, jobs, families, and relationships. Many have lost loved ones, felt overwhelmed, and have been stressed out. Often times, our loved ones and children may be feeling those stressors also. We want to teach ourselves and children that it is important to take care of our physical and emotional health. Seeking help to fine tune our coping skills is a courageous act. Allow me the opportunity to partner with you in developing the skills and tools needed to navigate your world. We want to assist you with living a healthy and happy life. Call/ Book online under client portal for new clients.

I believe everyone deserves a space to process, heal, and experience empathy and validation. Good outcomes in therapy can be expected if you feel the therapist genuinely cares and has your best interest in heart and mind. Your therapist must also have skill, knowledge, and experience with clinically proven therapy techniques. I provide both to you as my client. I offer an integrated approach that includes EMDR, person-centered, CBT, DBT skills, and trauma focused treatment; however, our time together is not limited to these theories of practice. Together, we can explore the barriers that are keeping you from living the life you want.

Welcome! Therapy is a team effort - no one should face life’s challenges alone. I work with people from all walks of life –teens, young adults, veterans, a diversity of races, ethnicities, religions, sexualities, gender identities, socio economic statuses, and worldviews. My expertise is in treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Anxiety, though I also have knowledge and experience working with Depression, Trauma and Stress-related Disorders, Life Transitions, Grief, Chronic Illness and Pain, Identity Development, and Relationship Dynamics. I emphasize your strengths and creatively weave together evidence-based tools to fit your unique goals and learning style. In our work you will build skills to identify and regulate your emotions, clarify values and identity, tolerate distress, improve communication and relationships, navigate uncertainty and change, and increase fulfillment. If you are seeking a supportive, judgment-free zone to sort through challenges, get unstuck, and become the best version of yourself, you’ve come to the right place. I welcome you to get curious as we uncover what makes you “you” and discover methods that will lead you to fulfillment and peace. Allow me to walk with you, you don’t have to walk alone.
