Does this resonate?
If you know you’re doing “all the right things” but still feel overwhelmed and stuck, I’m here to help.
Let me guess, you've checked all the boxes: the career, the accomplishments, the routines, and maybe even tried therapy before. You know the tools, have the insights, and you've listened to all the podcasts.
But underneath it all, you feel trapped in overthinking, self-doubt, and an endless pressure to hold everything together. You might also be feeling disconnected from yourself, struggle to truly relax, or find it hard to feel safe and grounded even when everything seems 'fine.'
I'm here to help you break those patterns, build true self-trust, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels deeply real and true to you.
what therapy looks like with me
I got you.
Hey, I’m Lisa! I’m a modern therapist for millennial women based in Austin, TX. I specialize in helping millennial women move beyond anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing so they can live with clarity, confidence, and freedom.
I consider myself a down-to-earth, deeply human therapist and show up as my real, authentic self in every session (boundaried, of course). No weird blank stares, no excessive silent nodding, no condescending “therapist voice.”
Just a real connection. Feeling safe and truly seen by your therapist is more important than anything else we’ll do together. Truly.
Healing starts when you feel safe enough to show up as your true self beneath the buttoned-up exterior and all the “shoulds.”
I’ll walk alongside you, celebrate your wins, sit with you in the muck, and gently challenge you when you get caught up in the BS. I’m here to help you finally put yourself first and to slow down enough to hear what you actually need.
My goal is to help you truly understand yourself, develop real self-trust, feel grounded in your choices, and finally able be to enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to build.
I believe deeply in the power of therapy because I’ve seen it work, both personally and professionally. I care deeply about every client I work with, and I’ll be just as invested in you.
Time to release your inner badass
Because I know you’re capable as hell.
I’m not here to “fix” you, and I’m definitely not going to hand you a worksheet and call it a day. My job is to help you understand yourself more deeply, notice the patterns that are getting in your way, and actually do something about them so you can create meaningful, lasting change.
Whether we’re processing old wounds, navigating a significant life change, breaking free from perfectionism and people-pleasing, or just trying to make sense of your week, I’ll meet you where you’re at with space to feel what’s really coming up.
Over time, you’ll notice you’re overthinking less, setting boundaries without spiraling, getting through tasks without shame and self-doubt…and maybe even resting without guilt - I know…wild, right?
No more playing nice.
No more playing nice.
