Lisa is a psychotherapist using gestalt, psychodrama, solution-focused and cognitive behavioural frameworks. I work with individuals to explore, and experiment, new ways of seeing or doing things in their lives. At the heart of my approach is collaboration, creativity, and inclusion of the language of the body.
I draw from over 15 years working in the mental health system in Canada and the UK, along with professional training in relational gestalt psychotherapy, psychodrama, mindfulness practice, cognitive and dialectical behaviour therapies, solution-focused therapy, and transformational systemic therapy. At the heart of my work is compassion, humour, and support. During a session I invite you to bring all parts of yourself into the treatment and look at your struggles and strengths with kindness and responsibility. Clients describe me as playful, direct, warm, and understanding.
Some of the areas I work with are: anger, anxiety, addictions, bipolar and mood disorders, depression, divorce/separation, emotional wellness, grief, intimate relationships, loss, parenting, post-partum issues, regulating emotions, relationships, role transitions, sexuality, single parenting, and trauma.
