Lisa

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of North Dakota. I
received my bachelor’s degree in social work through Minot State
University and my master’s degree in social work through the
University of North Dakota. I have experience supporting people with
mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, thought disorders, personality
disorders, and other mental health concerns. I have training and
several years of experience in treating co-occurring substance use and
severe mental illness as well as experience as a clinician on a
First-Episode Psychosis (FEP) treatment team. Among other
modalities, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp). I have additional training in
treatment of personality disorders and survivors of narcissistic and
psychopathic abuse. I adapt my treatment style to each client’s
individual needs.
The part of being a therapist I enjoy the most is the privilege of getting
to know the little things about a client- the fun and funny parts, the
little bit wild parts, the successes, and the hard things altogether. I
enjoy building strong relationships with my clients and creating a safe
and comfortable space for them. I value the uniqueness of each
individual and strive to meet clients where they are at with a
down-to-earth approach. I also genuinely appreciate a good laugh and
humor in sessions!
In my free time, I love spending time with my husband, family, and
numerous pets. Some of my hobbies include taking care of my jungle
of plants, listening to music, riding my bike, and crafting.
