Lisa is the founder and director of Monarch Psychology and Wellness. Originally from Canada, she is a psychologist known for her genuine, down-to-earth approach. Her ideal client is someone who is ready to move forward, build new skills, and make meaningful changes to improve their life. She has particular interests in treating OCD, other anxiety disorders, and supporting young women. Lisa supports her clients by meeting them where they’re at and creating a relaxed, non-judgemental space to build insight, confidence, and skills.
Lisa was supervised and trained by a former Chair of the Clinical College of Clinical Psychologists of the APS. She brings a clinical framework to her work, however she believes that therapy doesn't need to feel overly clinical or formal. Lisa’s style is warm, practical and genuine, with an emphasis on evidence-based, person-centred intervention.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and finding the right therapist can be difficult. Lisa offers a warm, judgement-free space where you can come as you are. She isn’t afraid to do things differently—whether that means sitting on the floor or having fidget toys available (yes, adults too!). If this sounds right for you, Lisa invites you to reach out.
