Trauma & OCD
Therapy for Women

Buffalo, NY & Throughout New York

Helping you heal from trauma, reconnect with yourself & move forward with compassion.

Healing from trauma isn't about pretending the past didn't happen. It's about understanding how it continues to affect you today—and discovering that lasting healing is possible.

Whether you're living with trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD, OCD, anxiety, or overwhelming self-criticism, you don't have to carry it alone.

Welcome.

Hello, I’m Lisa.

It is my passion and privilege to work with women who have experienced traumatic events. Whether stemming from childhood trauma, abuse, betrayal, or significant life changes, this pain often manifests as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties.

I also specialize in helping individuals struggling with OCD, including intrusive thoughts, anxiety, compulsions, and patterns that can feel exhausting and difficult to break.

You do not have to go through this alone. I'm dedicated to helping you heal, replace harsh self-talk with self-compassion, and reconnect with the strength you already have. Together, we will explore and understand the deeper roots of your pain, rather than simply focusing on the symptoms.

I provide therapy for women experiencing:

  • Trauma

  • Complex PTSD (CPTSD)

  • PTSD

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Perfectionism

  • Low Self-Esteem

  • Codependency

  • Relationship Challenges

  • Life Transitions

  • Panic Disorders

“The path to healing begins with the courage to feel what we once could not."
