She integrates Narrative Therapy, EMDR (basic training completed), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), DBT-informed and ACT-based approaches, with a strong emphasis on meaning-making, nervous system regulation, and restoring a sense of authorship in one’s life. Her work is guided by curiosity, collaboration, and deep respect for each client’s lived experience.Lisa has extensive experience supporting immigrants, refugees, and individuals navigating cross-cultural identity, displacement, and adaptation. She has also worked with survivors of abuse and toxic environments, people living with chronic conditions and pain, and neurodivergent adults, including autistic and ADHD clients. Her approach is attuned, thoughtful, and carefully paced, allowing therapy to unfold in a way that feels safe and sustainable.Alongside her private practice, Lisa has contributed to community mental health through volunteering and educational work, including lecturing at ISSofBC. She is deeply committed to ongoing learning, reflective practice, and ethical clinical work, and views EMDR training as a natural extension of her integrative and trauma-focused orientation.Lisa offers therapy in English and Russian and works with adults and couples in both in-person and online settings.
