“Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone.” — Lisa Olivera

Are you feeling overwhelmed navigating stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or burnout? Are you tired of feeling this way and hoping to make a meaningful change? I can help you build healthy coping strategies and skills that will support you in making the changes you’d like to see in your life.

I utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities, to help you develop healthier coping mechanisms and strategies for positive change. No matter what you’re struggling with, I am here to support you on your healing journey.

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, even though you’re used to being capable and handling everything on your own? Do you notice that the ways you once coped (like perfectionism, people-pleasing, or pushing through with self-criticism) are now leaving you feeling exhausted, stuck, or quietly questioning your self-worth? When old strategies stop working, it can feel disorienting and hard to know how to move forward.

I offer a compassionate, collaborative space where you can slow down and safely explore what’s been weighing on you. Together, we’ll look at the patterns of thinking, coping, and relating that once helped you succeed but may now be keeping you in cycles of stress, self-doubt, and emotional fatigue. Our work will focus on deepening self-understanding while gently building more supportive and sustainable ways of relating to yourself and others.

My approach integrates cognitive strategies with body-based practices, supporting both emotional insight and nervous system regulation. Grounded in self-compassion and acceptance, I help clients expand their capacity to tolerate uncomfortable internal experiences, fostering emotional growth and greater alignment between how life looks on the outside and how it feels on the inside.

Above all, I aim to create a space rooted in empathy, collaboration, and safety - a place where it feels okay to pause and reconnect with yourself. One step at a time, we’ll focus on strengthening self-trust and supporting you in moving from simply getting by to living in a way that feels more balanced, supportive, and true to who you are.
