About Me

Hi, my name is Lisa, and I have 25 years of experience collaborating with parents, children, and families. I have a diverse skill set including community engagement, program development, mediation, and facilitation.

As a Play Therapist registered with the Play Therapy Practitioners Association (PTPA), I have a creative, playful, and supportive approach to my work with children and families.

Alongside my work with individual children, I offer parent-child therapy sessions, promoting connection, attachment, and emotional well-being within parent-child relationships. I am passionate about this therapeutic approach, which helps to support family dynamics.

I’m excited about working with children and families using a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, and humanistic approach to practice.

I have three sons and enjoy jogging. I have a knack for wonky crochet, and I never skip my morning coffee!
