As the daughter of a U.S. Marine, Vietnam Veteran with multiple Purple Hearts and retired New York State Trooper, Lisa has personally experienced the psychological complexities of first responder work and the toll it takes not just on the individual but on the entire family, more specifically, when left unaddressed. She is dedicated to helping this population and their families to understand that the experience of trauma is this line of work is inevitable, impacting not just a few, but all.
Her down-to-earth, compassionate and straight-forward approach to therapy helps clients understand that trauma does not equate to weakness and not necessarily a “disorder”, but rather an ineludible aspect of specific occupations.
