Welcome, my name is Laurissa and I focus on providing compassionate psychological support that is grounded in evidence-based practice and caters to the unique needs of each individual. I believe therapy should empower people, help them to be more in control of their lives, and enhance or heal their relationships (with self and others). I show up to each session with warmth and authenticity, working from a place of compassion, respect, curiosity, and humour.
My focus is to help you move through life's challenges with a greater sense of awareness and skill, while processing past experiences that may be weighing you down or keeping you stuck. I provide tools and resources to support you in navigating life's stressors and challenges.
My professional philosophy is that everyone is capable of growth and healing, and we can all benefit from a little support or guidance to get there. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience and I work with that in mind. I also recognize the importance of finding a therapist who is a good fit and offer a free 15-minute phone consultation.
