Using a cutting edge combination of psychotherapy, neurofeedback, and biofeedback, I take a holistic approach to wellness which addresses the mind, brain, body, and spirit.

As a counsellor, my priority is to ensure that my clients feel safe, understood, and skillfully supported in a compassionate and non-judgmental atmosphere. "The person is never the problem - the problem is the problem".

Whether you are feeling anxious & overwhelmed, depressed, stuck or hopeless, grieving or feeling alone, therapy is a place where it is OK to talk about the hard & confusing things, where you get to tell the truth as you see and feel it – your truth. If you experience shame, guilt, disappointment, regret, anger or resentment in your life, counselling gives you an opportunity to understand yourself better without being rushed or judged. Listening to all the parts of you that want to be heard can lead to positive change: A sense of relief, better relationships & sleep, feeling more grounded & living a more meaningful & authentic life.

By processing past material that has become stuck in the nervous system, we can come out of being either overly activated or tuned out.

Hi! I’m Lauren (she/her). I’m here to help you heal, grow and thrive by tapping into the inner knowing and wisdom of your body and heart, and by encouraging you to step into your power and truth. The clients who seek me out are often on journeys of self discovery or facing life transitions that open up questions and possibilities about who they are, what matters most to them, and how they want to live. I was called to this work through my personal journey of owning my unique path in life, despite it being different than the societal expectations that I grew up with.

You’ve found your person, but you’re struggling to talk through your differences in a way that honours what you want out of a relationship. You fear that with the accumulation of unresolved issues, that one day everything will come tumbling down. You’re afraid of triggering the other, so you avoid and you’re starting to feel more and more lonely. You’re aware that your roles are to nurture each other’s inner child, but often you don’t know where to begin. You’re not sure if you’re having communication issues or there’s a difference in values. Breaking up is not what you want, but often it spirals in that direction.

You may be experiencing concerns related to trauma, family history, relationships, identity development, personal growth, spirituality and sexuality/sexual identity. If so, the process of finding support can be challenging, and it can difficult to know how to find a clinician with a style that best supports you and your concerns. I believe that the first step in the process is to provide a space to support understanding your unique experiences and perspectives.

“The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.” - Esther Perel. I guide clients to reflect on the relationship they have with themselves and with others, while prioritizing connection and presence. Being heard and feeling heard can foster intimacy, however it can also feel vulnerable to self-disclose parts of the self which have been masked and hidden away.

Do you feel distressed but don't understand why? Have you tried different methods and it only helped a little but never get ahead? Have you ever wondered what the core issue is? Working with me might find you those answers. A lot of people ask who gets counselling, I believe that anyone who experiences stress could get a therapist; however, many have amazing family and friends that allow them to bounce ideas, inspire motivation, and provides insight so counselling really isn't needed. Most people wait till they are in crisis to get help which would mean a rough journey to baseline. Let's be preventative rather than reactionary.

I go by he/him/his and I work with folks who are in the marginalized group(s) (gay/bi/queer, person of colour... etc.) who experienced discrimination and/or sexual and physical assault who wants to have more options to respond and understand themselves. Folks who feel that they oftentimes react out of proportion to the situation and experienced challenges to trust and build favourable relationships with others.

For anyone looking for support with navigating a challenge or who feels a longing to realize more of life's potential, I believe that counselling can be tremendously helpful. I also believe this is true for a variety of challenges and goals, whether it’s navigating a mental health challenge like anxiety, depression or ADHD, or just wanting to live at your highest level. Through counselling I believe we enter a space where we can honestly explore our various thoughts and feelings, generate insights and evolve our wisdom and perspective.
