Laura provides her clients the opportunity to explore personal problems and potentials, resolve conflicts, and facilitate self awareness and understanding. Laura’s view of healing is holistic, paying attention to not only what is said but how the body responds. Through a mindfulness based approach, Laura creates space and opportunity for clients to explore and connect to their inner needs while providing a safe space for these needs to be expressed. This approach allows mind/body integration. Through this process, clients begin to experience clarity, balance and rest.
Art experience in not necessary as Laura moves along side the client to facilitate growth and understanding. Clients leave with a deeper understanding of the roots of conflict, which can then be processed into words. In a sense, art therapy helps to bypass the noise inside our heads to get to the root of individual suffering in a nonthreatening way.
Whether working through trauma, grief and loss, stress, anxiety or depression, or behavioural and communication issues, clients begin to recognize and evaluate unhealthy patterns, thoughts and beliefs and begin to access the tools already within themselves to navigate through life more effectively. Perfect for children, adolescents, families, and individuals
