Lisa Rickert has spent 20-plus years working with defense teams on death penalty cases around the country. She has witnessed the pain and trauma of those who have lost a loved one to murder. In the process, she has also explored and uncovered layers of pain and trauma in the lives of those who killed another human being. She has been humbled by those who trusted her with their stories of buried wounds and has been in awe of those who chose mercy in response to unspeakable pain.
It is Lisa’s core belief that people who forgive contribute to a kinder, more peaceful world.
Lisa earned her MSW at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As a social worker, she has worked in the areas of juvenile delinquency, child protection, and sentencing advocacy. She has always been fascinated by emotional healing practices, particularly the work of Dr. Robert Enright, a professor of educational psychology at UW-Madison, and a leader in the study of forgiveness in the healing process.
