Individual & Couples Therapy Brevard, NC
Living by Design: Therapy for individuals, couples, and entrepreneurs in Brevard, NC, and online across NC & SC
We all start out living by default. We carry the scripts our families gave us, the roles our careers demanded, and the survival strategies our younger selves used to stay safe. It works for a while—until it doesn't.
Living by design is different. It’s the moment you decide to stop reacting to your life and start inhabiting it. Whether you are navigating your own internal landscape or the sacred space between you and your partner, our work is about moving from "how it’s always been" to “how you want it to be.”
Are you ready to stop reacting to the scripts of your past and start intentionally crafting a life and partnership that finally feels like your own?
YOU'RE READY TO:
Feel deeply and live with purpose
Reclaim the “you” before the world told you who to be
Rewrite your story with deeper understanding and inner knowing
Engage in fierce, honest intimacy
Rekindle or co-create a new chapter in your love story
Create a balanced life where work, family & love flourish

Hello! I'm Lisa.
I’m so glad you are here.
I help individuals and couples uncover authentic self, rekindle emotional, mental, and physical intimacy with self and others, and redefine personal, professional, and relational wellness.
Have you and your partner lost your spark? In the beginning, you felt seen and heard. Now, you find yourselves in a pattern of negativity, blocked communication, and disconnection. You wonder…Will my partner and I ever reconnect emotionally and/or physically? You want to feel closeness again but fear and doubt weigh heavily on your heart and mind. The time to take your relationship off autopilot to actively choose co-creating the relationship you both desire is NOW.
Or maybe you have been wondering if you even know yourself anymore having lost your sense of self, purpose, and meaning. You think you can remember a time when you felt understood, heard and seen AND anxiety and stress have you doubting if that is even possible. The time to embark on a transformative journey to redefine meaning, purpose, and connection in all ares of your life is NOW.

I help individuals, couples, and business professionals just like you to create deeper connections with both self and those important people in your life. I would be honored to walk alongside you towards your personal and relational fulfillment redefined.
