Meaningful.
Authentic.
Connected.

You’re probably here because you’re struggling in some way. Maybe you find you’ve lost your way or feel stuck. Perhaps you’re hurting emotionally. Or you feel alone and like no one understands you. It could be all of that and more.

Life can be so messy and hard.
Counselling can help.
There is hope.

Hi, my name is Lisa.
I am an individual and couples counsellor located in Nanaimo, BC.
I would love to help you grow, to connect with what matters most to you, and to find greater fulfillment in your life. With warmth, compassion, and curiosity, I will walk with you on this journey of change.

Research consistently shows that counselling is effective. It seems to work best when there is a strong relationship between the client and counsellor. Contact me to see if we’re a good fit.

You may be struggling,
but you are not broken

We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.
