She has worked at all three levels–high school, middle school and elementary school and loves to work with children of all ages. Lizanne has lived and worked in remote Indigenous communities as well as in Africa and is very interested in individuals and families coming from diverse cultural experiences.
Lizanne has always been fascinated with human beings and the relationships in which they are embedded. She approaches her work with keen interest, curiosity and compassion, which lie at the centre of her work. She believes everyone has innate strength and wisdom within themselves, which sometimes just needs some work to uncover and release. Her work draws on elements of Solution-Focussed Therapy, Brief Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, among other modalities. She has a high level of respect for all individuals who engage in counselling to work through the tough and challenging parts of life.
Lizanne received her Bachelor's Degree (Honours) in Drama and Math from Queen’s University as well as her Bachelor of Education.
