Hi, I’m Lisette

Lisette, licensed trauma therapist and counsellor at Renova Restorative Therapy, virtual therapy BC

I believe healing happens when people feel safe, seen, and supported enough to show up exactly as they are.

My Approach to Healing

My work is deeply rooted in both personal and professional experiences with healing, trauma, and restoration.

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and stuck in patterns that no longer serve you—and I also know the importance of having safe spaces to process, heal, and reconnect with yourself.

I approach therapy through a compassionate, relational, and collaborative lens that honours each person’s unique story, experiences, and capacity for healing.

Faith-Integrated Support (Optional)

For clients who desire it, I offer space to integrate Christian faith into the therapeutic process. This may include exploring meaning, hope, spiritual identity, and personal beliefs as part of healing.

Faith integration is always client-led and may or may not be included depending on your preference.
