You're out of spoons by 9 am, if you had any at all today. You fluctuate between feeling overloaded and shut down. Your world is too much, and your comfort zone has become your prison; months or years pass before you feel confident enough to take any kind of risk at all. Maybe your pets have become your sole source of social interaction, or you live a rich virtual life and daydream about belonging to an actual in- person community who accepts you for exactly who you are (whoever that is!). Therapy with me is not about forcing change, it’s about expanding capacity and choice- building a life that actually fits your nervous system.
Hey, I'm Laurie and I've always been drawn to other humans who march to the beat of their own drum and approach support through a trauma-informed, neurodivergent, gender-affirming, and culturally sensitive lens. I aim to meet people where they're at and help clients to build a life that's meaningful to them. I'm EMDR trained and a registered yoga teacher.
Healing in real. Imagine a world where you feel free to take off your proverbial mask and shine your awesomely weird self. All. Over. The. Place. Where there's a real possibility to deeply know who you are, feel accepted by others, and (dare you say) be emboldened to allow others to be the fullest, most authentic and expansive versions of themselves.
