About Laura:

I’m a Master’s-level intern with three years of community-based counselling experience, offering individual therapy for adults age 18+.

My therapeutic approach is shaped by a decade working as a funeral director, supporting people in acute grief, and undergraduate education in both philosophy and justice studies.

I have worked with people navigating trauma, substance use, and systemic harm, and have a wealth of diverse life experience that informs my understanding of human complexity.

I work from a client-centred, anti-oppressive lens grounded in existential, acceptance-based, parts-work, and narrative therapies.

I strive to offer a welcoming space for people of all identities and backgrounds, including those navigating marginalization, unconventional paths, or complex relationships with self and society.

I care about how your relationship with yourself was shaped, what burdens or beliefs have complicated it, and how it might shift to improve your quality of life.

I’m not here to fix you; I’m here to witness and reflect, to challenge when needed, to help uncover your own insights, and to walk beside you with authenticity and care.

Clients often tell me I help them make sense of what feels overwhelming: exploring patterns, pulling threads together, and distilling complexity into something they can work with.

I believe that a compassionate presence can be healing, and I take seriously the privilege of being let into someone’s world.

If you're wrestling with something that feels heavy, isolating, or hard to name, you're not alone.

You’re not too much. And you're certainly not broken.

It is human to struggle, and it is human to seek connection through that struggle.

I believe we each carry something wise and life-affirming inside us, something that keeps reaching for the light. I would love to help you reclaim your invincible summer.
