I am a trained clinical social worker with 16 years of experience. My experience is in major hospital systems in New York City, Houston, and New Jersey and the past three years specifically servicing BetterHelp subscribers. Most of my experience involves bringing tranquility, organization, and resolution to very complex and emotional situations. I utilize cultural sensitivity and my experience to navigate diverse backgrounds and work through the challenges being faced.
In my work, I have been involved during times of stress and anxiety, challenging relationships, life changes, and many more. My goal is to listen to what is causing stress and offer the support needed to overcome it or manage it better. I hope to offer some tools to utilize in navigating these challenging situations for a more optimal outcome.
I have traveled to various cities such as Bangkok, Paris, Madrid, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Cancun, Caribbean, London, Amsterdam, San Diego, Chicago, Oklahoma City, Memphis, Orlando, San Francisco, Montreal, Calgary, Banff, Edmonton, and more. During my travels, I mainly focus on learning about the culture and understanding the history of the area and its people.
My passion is to help and coach people to be their best selves!

Lisa has been so helpful! She listens, offers tangible advice, gives optional homework, and helps me to see my patterns of behavior that are not benefitting me. I highly recommend her!

Lisa has really made a difference to the way I process my thoughts and emotions. She is able to understand and bring a light sense of humour to our conversations which just makes me really warm to her as a person. I didn't think talking n to a therapist would make me look forward to our sessions so much. Truly grateful she came into my life.

Miss Lisa has been there for me for about 6 months now, and every session she points something out I can improve on. I enjoy talking to her, as she always keeps the mood fairly light, but knows when to transition into seriousness. Would highly recommend!

I have been through a few counsellors but, they don’t match up to Lisa. She consistently arrives on time, helps push you where you need to go and makes you feel like you’re not alone. She supports me throughout my feelings of depression and anxiety, has gone above and beyond through her checkins and helps me advocate for myself in the best way. I’m unbelievably grateful to have met her.
