Please note, Lisa is not taking on new clients at this time.
Lisa is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and has received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology followed by her master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Simon Fraser University and continues her education and training as a lifelong learner.
Working with adults, children, families, and groups for a non-profit organization in the community, Lisa is trained in trauma-informed practice, child-centered play therapy, personcentered, CBT, somatic therapy, emotion and attachment theory. Through her studies she completed extensive research on children with learning disabilities and their families. She understands the difficulties parents and children can experience as they navigate their way through the obstacles and concerns after diagnosis, and provides guidance, coping skills, support and hope to these families. Along with families and children, Lisa works closely with individual adults with mental and emotional health difficulties such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress.
Lisa’s therapeutic approach is to cultivate a safe, trusting, and collaborative space for her clients to feel comfortable exploring their emotions, barriers, and life challenges. She aims to provide a strong therapeutic alliance of genuineness, non-judgment, and empathy in order to create a firm foundation from which her clients can begin their journey as she walks alongside them in their growth and healing.
