Lisa is a licensed certified social worker who specializes in treating children ages 5-12, dealing with anxiety, inattention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, anger, depression, family conflict, and trauma.

Lisa received her bachelor's degree in Addiction Studies from the University of Central Arkansas and her Master's of Social Work from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. She has experience working in school-based, pediatric day treatment, and adult day treatment programs.
