Attachment Therapy in Reno, NV & Online throughout California and Nevada
Helping adults stop surviving relationships and start feeling secure in them.
Heal anxious attachment, relationship anxiety, and the lasting impact of childhood emotional neglect so you can experience secure, emotionally safe relationships with yourself, your partner, and your family.
You long for deep, meaningful relationships—but you've never experienced what secure connection truly feels like.
You're a high-achieving, highly sensitive adult who longs for closeness but keeps finding yourself caught in the same painful relationship patterns.
You’re constantly replaying conversations, feeling like too much one moment, and not enough the next. Your mind races, your body rarely feels calm, and you’re stuck in a loop of overthinking, people-pleasing, and trying to earn the secure connection you crave. Deep down, you long to feel loved, safe, and chosen, but your nervous system is always bracing for those things to disappear.
​
Maybe you find yourself snapping at the people you love, shutting down when you're overwhelmed, or struggling to ask for what you need. Beneath the frustration is often something much more vulnerable: a need to feel seen, supported, and safe.
If you grew up feeling like your needs were too much, or that you had to keep the peace to stay connected, you may have learned to ignore your own needs in order to protect your relationships. Now, closeness feels both deeply desired and unexpectedly scary. You want secure, emotionally safe relationships, but were just never shown how to create them. Until now.
Do you often ask yourself,
"Why do relationships feel so hard?"
If so, you're in the right place.
The way you relate to yourself and others didn't happen by accident. Throughout your earliest relationships, the interactions and connection you received from those closest to you shaped how you view the world.
When love felt uncertain, inconsistent, or had to be earned, your nervous system developed internal signals to keep people close. These experiences shaped your attachment style and continues to influence how you experience love, trust, conflict, and emotional safety today.
Attachment therapy helps you understand those patterns, heal the wounds beneath them, and create the secure, connected relationships you've been longing for.
Welcome,
I am so glad you are here.
Hi, I am Lisa!​
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in attachment therapy for adults who want to stop surviving relationships and start feeling secure in them.​
​
My passion for this work comes from my own healing journey. I know what it's like to feel "too much" and not enough; to long for closeness while quietly wondering if it will last.
​​
As a therapist who has been to therapy, I know that healing is possible. Now, it's my privilege to help others experience the kind of secure, connected relationships they may have never believed were possible.
​​
Imagine how different your relationships could feel...
Imagine waking up without immediately wondering whether someone is upset with you. Imagine trusting that your relationships can withstand conflict, expressing your needs without fear, and feeling loved without constantly having to prove your worth. That kind of security is possible, and it's what our work together is designed to help you experience.
​
As we work together, you'll begin to:
​
​Understand Yourself and Your Patterns.
Discover how your attachment patterns developed and why your thoughts, emotions, and reactions make so much sense.
​
Heal What Shaped You
Heal the early relationship experiences that continue to shape how you see yourself, others, and love today.
​
​Create New Relationship Patterns
Learn to express your needs, set healthy boundaries, and experience relationships that feel safe instead of exhausting.
​
Experience Secure Relationships
Feel emotionally safe, trust yourself, and experience the kind of calm, connected relationships you've been longing for.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Every person's story is different, which is why I tailor therapy to your unique needs.
I integrate Attachment Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you create lasting change. Healing is about more than gaining insight, it's about helping your nervous system finally feel safe enough to experience relationships differently.
​The relationships you've always longed for aren't out of reach.
They begin with learning what it feels like to be secure.
Client Testimonials
"Lisa is the absolute best! Her calm and caring demeanor made it easy for me to open up to her and I really appreciated the different types of therapy strategies we were able to use. EMDR was really helpful with processing & moving traumatic experiences through my body, which ultimately ended up in healing. I loved that we would work on practical goals and ways to implement what we were discussing into everyday life. I would 100/10 recommend working with Lisa - she is hands down the best therapist I’ve ever had!"
