Her training has made her particularly sensitive to the dynamics of family systems and how profoundly one’s family of origin impacts future choices.

Her practice is guided by an underlying belief in the importance of mutual respect between therapist and client. She specializes in “living with disability in the family,” focusing on parents of children with disabilities, adult siblings, spouses and individuals dealing with chronic physical illness. She also co-facilitates groups in this specialty. Some of Lisa’s professional interests include: *Autism spectrum differences *Helping families manage the emotional journey when parenting children with differences *Respectful counseling for adults with autism *Supporting families to see the gifts in the challenge *Promoting self-determination and community inclusion for people with disabilities She has written a book that is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of hiring in-home providers for children and young adults with disabilities.
