Lisa is a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Creativity Coach. She has spent the last eight years counseling creative individuals such as artists, musicians, writers, and actors on issues unique to the creative person. As an artist herself, and through deeper exploration of the creative process, she has come to understand the unique qualities of the artistic personality. Lisa strives to help others better understand themselves as creative individuals and learn to integrate all aspects of the artistic personality in order to reach their creative potential.

Prior to her career in therapy, Lisa received a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, and has worked as a graphic designer for over 14 years with clients such as Toyota, Nestle, Kaiser Permanente, Nissan and Deloitte & Touche, and more.

Deciding to return to her first passion, she went back to college and received a Masters of Arts in Psychology from Phillips Graduate Institute. Since then she has integrated her main passions into her practice - Creativity and Psychology. Lisa is currently a member of the Creativity Coaching Association and is studying under Eric Maisel, America’s foremost creativity coach and expert on creativity.

She has written various articles on creativity, the creative process and artistic personality and maintains her own blog titled The Art of Mind Blog. Lisa continues to express her own creativity through oil painting, visual journaling and writing.
