Meet Laura

A compassionate and supportive woman, sitting on a couch, in a safe and welcoming space.

Hi! I am a biracial, empathetic, compassionate, and caring therapist who will meet you where you are in your journey of healing. The stressors we experience can significantly impact us. They can cause anxiety, recurring thoughts, and leave you struggling to move forward. This can effect our school, work, and relationships. I know that coping with and managing these challenges can be difficult. In therapy, we can work together to develop strategies to make things easier for you. I strive take a genuine and warm, client-centred approach when working with clients.

Therapy is not “one-size-fits-all”, therefore, I will tailor my approach to fit your unique needs. I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work is also rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and trauma-informed care. To learn more about my services, visit here. My goal is to offer you a safe, nonjudgmental, and culturally sensitive space where we can collaboratively work to improve your well-being.

Having lived both internationally and in Canada, I have gained invaluable life experiences in empowering marginalized communities. I value authenticity, curiosity, and growth. Making the decision to start therapy is a courageous one, and I will be here to listen and support you on your unique path. I invite you to book a consultation so we can venture on your path of healing together.

Outside of our sessions, you may find me painting (not very well), cooking and baking, going on nature walks, or spending time with friends and family. My favourite time of year is autumn. Much like the fall leaves, we can learn to embrace change and all its beauty in therapy.
