Lisa has over 20 years of experience in coaching and consulting others. She has helped hundreds to transform their lives, realize their goals, and achieve more satisfaction and fulfillment.

Lisa began her career in the field of social work where her desire to make a difference was initially expressed. While studying Psychology at the University at Albany she worked for three years as a counselor in a substance abuse facility. Shortly after graduation she worked in a group home for physically and sexually abused girls. From there Lisa worked as a child abuse investigator and caseworker primarily trying to keep families together and safe.

In 1993, Lisa was introduced to transformational education and began studying this discipline also known as ontology. She became fascinated with the concept that change could occur quickly and be sustained. This pursuit led to a position in 1995 at Landmark Education Corporation (LEC) a company specializing in transformational education. While working at LEC, Lisa was trained to design and lead transformational seminars. She also gained mastery in the emerging fields of personal and business coaching especially in the areas of sales, planning, and productivity. This became her opportunity to hone her skills within the corporate world.

In 1998, Lisa left LEC to return to Albany, NY to marry the love of her life and to be near her family. Upon her return, Lisa began a coaching practice part time while working full time for the New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence (OPDV) as the Child Welfare Project Director. Her primary duties at OPDV included designing and conducting trainings around New York State on the issues of domestic violence and child abuse.
