Hey, I'm Laura (She/her)

Have things been feeling overwhelming, heavy, or like too much lately? Are you looking for a safe space to explore your emotions, navigate life’s challenges, and discover your own inner strength?

It takes courage to seek therapy, and finding the right therapist can sometimes feel overwhelming. It's important for you to feel comfortable and connected, and that's why I prioritize creating a warm and non-judgmental environment where you can truly be yourself.

Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. Together, we'll work towards developing helpful coping skills, exploring past experiences, and fostering self-acceptance. My approach to therapy is tailored to your unique needs and goals, drawing from various modalities and techniques. I work with the mind and body to build awareness and a feeling of security. I want to ensure that our sessions are centred around what works best for you.

Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship/work issues, grief, or are confused about exactly what’s feeling wrong, I’m here to help you every step of the way. I’ll collaborate with you to help bring you back to feelings like your true self, feel validated, and learn how to feel confident and resilient in the challenges that life throws your way. You don’t have to do this alone.

Benefits of Working with Me

  1. I bring lived experience to the table – as someone that has gone through my own mental health struggles and come out the other side, I know that growth and healing is possible.

  2. I believe humour is one of our greatest assets, and sometimes levity in the face of heaviness can bring new perspectives to life’s challenges.

  3. I understand the mind/body connection: I’m a certified yoga teacher, experienced meditator, and have my Tension and Trauma Release Exercises© Level 1 certification to help guide you through what’s going on in your body and mind.

  4. As a queer woman, if you’re LGBTQIA+, you can feel seen and heard by a member of your own community.

  5. I bring a holistic approach and passion for wellbeing, as healing is multifaceted.
