Testimonials
Sara* had difficulty managing her emotions and coping with stress. She also was heavily influenced by her peers. Sara faced challenges with communication in both family and personal relationships.
With a focus on building her self-esteem, developing her communication skills and finding ways for her to best handle stress, Sara and I got to work. By helping her stay in the moment and focus on the facts, Sara was able to stay calmer in what would have previously been considered an overwhelming situation. We also worked on slowing down and acting versus reacting. In addition to helping her better control her emotions we came up with ways to help her express her emotions in a simple and direct way. As we worked together, her interactions with others improved, she developed a greater sense of peace and balance in her life, became more open to different ideas and was less influenced by others. Seeing the positive changes in Sara, her parents offered this statement.
"Lisa had a tremendously positive impact on our daughter. We are grateful to Lisa for her dedication and enthusiasm in working with our daughter and provide a very strong recommendation for her." JT/DZ

Paul* is a young man that needed assistance with basic self care. He also didn't know fundamental independent living skills but was very eager to live independently. Paul and I set up a plan to help him accomplish his goals. We created a personalized schedule to help him best manage his personal hygiene, laundry, cleaning and other daily and weekly tasks so he could begin to build positive habits. I also taught Paul how to plan a balanced meal and manage his money. Paul had difficulties in crowds, sensory issues, managing and working through his feelings in addition to interpersonal skills. In working together, Paul gained a greater sense of stability, learned and developed the needed life skills to successfully move out on his own and greatly improved in how he interacted with others and approached the world. Paul has since been living independently for years,
is happily employed and valued by his employer.
When reflecting back on the impact I had in his life this is what he shared.
"Ms. Lisa has helped me so much. She has taught me quite a few independent skills. Some of the skills she has taught me are budgeting my money, working well with others, how to communicate and express my feelings right and the proper way, cooking amazing meals together and so much more. One thing I like about Ms. Lisa is she always has me smiling. She was always there to turn my frown upside down. I'm extremely glad to have her as a mentor. She has been there through thick and thin for me and there is so much to be thankful for in everything she has done for me." JT
