Practice information:

Lisa is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a private counselling practice in North Vancouver.  She has a Masters degree with honours from UBC, and advanced training in EMDR.  She has extensive training and experience in working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and post separation and divorce. Lisa is a caring, empathic and dynamic counsellor who is confident in her ability to help her clients to change adversity into new possibilities and positive changes.

It is easy to stay stuck in old, familiar patterns that prevent us from experiencing happiness and fulfillment. This can eventually lead to the experience of depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, etc. Counselling with Lisa will help you to courageously transcend these patterns and replace them with healthier ways of coping. The counselling will also help you to let go of the disturbing emotions and self-limiting beliefs that are interfering with your happiness. As a result, you will feel more confident, self-acceptant, and able to pursue your goals.

Lisa has an integrated counselling approach. She only uses well-researched, mainstream counselling approaches. Her primary therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy, EMDR, and various relaxation and visualization exercises. This comprehensive approach helps Lisa to adapt her counselling approach to your unique needs. Her twenty years of counselling experience and extensive training also help her to offer a highly professional service.
