Psychotherapist, Couples Therapist, Millennial Marriage Expert
It all begins with effective communication.
Are you able to express your most vulnerable feelings and needs to your partner? Do they seem to get it? Get You? Or do you find yourself pushing to be heard and understood, which ends up in a fight? Or maybe you’ve gotten to the point where you don’t express your feelings at all because…what’s the point?
That’s Why I Created
The Happy Marriage Formula™
The idea that you can feel understood, supported, appreciated, and respected by your partner might sound crazy right now, but I’m here to tell you that it’s not.

If you’re looking for help with your relationship, you’ve come to the right place.
I’m Dr. Lisa, a Licensed Psychotherapist, Couples Therapist, and Relationship Expert & Educator. I live in Miami, Florida with my husband, two kids, and two dogs. I love to help people create connection, confidence, and joy in their relationship, whether that be in couples therapy in my South Miami office, online coaching, or teaching in my online courses.
As psychology professor for more than 20 years, my passion for teaching now focuses on helping individuals and couples all over the world, learn how the power of attachment can help them escape negative patterns, and create secure bonds in their relationship.
After 25 years of marriage, and helping hundreds of individuals and couples for more than two decades, I know what it takes to turn a marriage around and I would love to help you too!
