I seek to help clients heal old wounds in order to show up in their lives and their relationships as their true Self. I use a mix of therapy modalities, grounded in a holistic, empowering, non-judgmental and trauma-informed approach. During the 10 years I spent working as a corporate lawyer, I experienced firsthand how external pressures can drown out our inner guidance and needs, leading to feelings of 'stuckness', dissatisfaction, and resentment. When we over-emphasize productivity and external success, it's often at the cost of our own nourishment and well-being, leaving most of us in a chronic state of anxiety and stress.

Our lives and all the intersecting parts can be too much to bear at times. Carrying around trauma, negative self-talk and heavy emotions is exhausting and impacts the mind/body. Having someone actively listen without blame, shame or judgment can be the life line needed when your struggling to cope, or just seeking balance and change. I am a Registered Social Worker and have over 18 years of experience working with individuals with complex mental health/addiction issues. I provide professional and confidential counselling to address a number of issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, stress, life transitions, relationship issues.

Dear Reader: The reason I get out of bed every morning is not because I believe life is easy - but that it is difficult. What makes life difficult is the fact, that it presents an endless series of problems which require solutions. The very process of confronting and solving life's problems can be a painful one; at times full of sadness, confusion, anxiety, hurt, anger, fear and loneliness. These are uncomfortable feelings, sometimes highly distressing and can equal the worst kind of physical pain. Fearing the suffering involved, almost all of us have attempted to avoid confronting these problems.

Everything changes when you fall in love with truth. Inner alignment, no matter where it takes you, is both the means and the end. If you're struggling with depression, anxiety, boundaries, isolation, narcissistic abuse, and/or low self esteem then it might be your intention to develop a keener sense of what your place in life is meant to be, create healthier boundaries and relationships. Together we can explore your inner world, understand who you are at your core, and what you need to develop into the vibrant human being you were always meant to be. Remember, to begin with, that our most important relationship is with ourselves.

I provide counselling virtually and in person in downtown Toronto for adults who have experienced relational trauma, including abuse, neglect, or betrayal. Such experiences can significantly affect mental health and how individuals engage in relationships. People facing relational trauma often perceive relationships as threatening, leading to loneliness, low self-esteem, trust issues, and a feeling of disconnection. These challenges usually stem from altered perceptions & nervous system reactions formed by past experiences.

You might be struggling with feelings of "stuckness," unhappiness, grief, or isolation. You may feel that something is standing between you and the life you wish to live - or, you may not be sure what that life would look like. You might have experienced a major life event or shift that you are struggling to move forward with, or you may be noticing patterns that you feel unable to break. Whatever is weighing on you, I am glad you are searching for someone to share this load. I invite you to work with me in an environment that welcomes queer & trans folks, BIPOC folks, neurodivergence, disability, and is body- and sex work-positive.

Hi, I’m Laura, a neuro-affirming, queer+, East Coast gal. I am a gentle soul, a late diagnosed ADHD'er, a nature/music lover, and a lover of creativity & connection. I know what it’s like to struggle with a busy overactive mind. To feel anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, and out of control. To strive for perfection that can never be achieved. I get how a lifetime of messaging can tell us we’re “different” or “not enough.” I get how ADHD/Mental Health impacts relationships, work, self-esteem, and overall function. I certainly don’t have all the answers, but I know from experience, there is hope to not only function but thrive in life.
