From Overwhelm to Empowerment
Counselling and Coaching for Families, Couples & Individuals
Counselling, Coaching, and Consulting in Vancouver — Specializing in Neurodiversity, Perinatal Mental Health, and Parenting Support
Couples & Coparenting Dynamics
Parenting can put stress on even the strongest relationships. I help couples and co-parents improve communication, navigate conflict, and strengthen emotional safety at home. Using evidence-based approaches like EFT and the Gottman Method, sessions provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to rebuild trust and teamwork.
Neurodiverse Women & Teens
I offer neurodiversity-affirming counselling for women and teen girls with ADHD, autism, and related profiles. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, burnout, or major life transitions. In our work together, you’ll find a space rooted in understanding, acceptance, and practical support tailored to your needs. My approach draws on ongoing specialized training in strength-based, neurodiversity-affirming practices, ensuring therapy feels both validating and effective.
Prenatal & Postpartum Counselling
Pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting can bring joy and connection — but also anxiety, mood changes, grief, and identity shifts. I support parents and families through this sensitive time, offering emotional support alongside practical strategies for feeding, sleep, positioning, and newborn care. Together, we’ll work toward feeling grounded, confident, and connected to what matters most.
Caregiver Counselling
I help parents and caregivers feel more confident and grounded while supporting their child’s unique needs and their own well-being. Drawing on CBT, sensory processing, and emotional regulation, I create a collaborative, safe space where families can express themselves authentically and develop practical, compassionate tools for challenges like anxiety, stress, and transitions.
Educational Consulting
I support schools and families with IEPs, student support strategies, and teacher training. Drawing on my experience on special education teams in New York City schools, I help create practical, neurodiversity-affirming plans that allow students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Executive Functioning Support
I help clients build strategies that work with their brain, not against it. Together, we’ll focus on planning, organization, and follow-through in a way that feels manageable and affirming. The goal is to create simple, sustainable systems so you can feel more steady, capable, and confident in daily life.
Client Reflections
“Lisa has been instrumental in helping me get through the toddler stage. She gave me helpful guidance about milestones and calmed my fears.
She provided exercises and activities I could do with my little one to encourage physical development, and helped me feel so much more confidant and supported!”
Lindsay Lieberman
“My preschool aged son was struggling with anxiety and sensory sensitivities. I was out of creative ideas on how to support him and needed help. Lisa walked me through concrete approaches which have proven successful in a short time.
Her ability to quickly understand my concerns and walk through step by step actions was incredibly helpful. She is extremely knowledgeable about how to put occupational therapy into practice and I highly recommend her services.”
Jessica Zimmering
“Lisa did an assessment of my 10 month old, who was not yet crawling. She was very kind, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She gave us several exercises and tips to work on at home.
She explained how core strength, feeding skills, and mobility are all connected, and sent a follow up summary of everything we had discussed, which was a very helpful reference. Within a few weeks, my little was crawling and now climbs everywhere! Thank you, Lisa!”
Kayla Cohen
“Lisa’s organization, diligence, creativity and dedication to bettering children’s lives is admirable. I have seen her build strong rapport with children, parents and teachers, and they respond to her efforts.
Her sense of professionalism and commitment to the school community is clearly evident.”
