Lisa provides child and teen counseling in Mequon. Lisa also has 15 years of experience treating children with mental health and behavioral issues in the foster care system in the Milwaukee area.
As a Board Certified Art Therapist, Lisa brings an expertise in Art Therapy for those clients who prefer treatment other than traditional therapy. If a client is interested in Art Therapy during Psychotherapy sessions, Lisa uses art media, the creative process, and the resulting artwork to explore the clients’ feelings during therapy.
Art Therapy often allows clients to release pain & express emotions that had once been deeply hidden, in a manner that traditional therapy cannot. This is especially true for children, who have trouble verbalizing their feelings. Lisa believes that when clients are able to “Trust the Process” in therapy, they are able to achieve the most success and healing during their treatment.
Lisa received her undergraduate degree from Alverno College & her graduate degree in Art Therapy from Mount Mary College.
