Therapy for
real life.

The messy, complicated, overwhelming, beautiful, WTF-is-happening parts too.

You don't have to have it all figured out before you reach out.

Real people.
Real challenges.
Real change.

Hi, I'm Laura

I'm a counsellor, but I'm also a wife, mom, sports parent, plant lady, lifelong learner and someone who has absolutely had the moments where I thought " Okay WTF am I supposed to do with this?"

 

I believe therapy shouldn't feel like being talked at. You know yourself better than anyone. My job isn't to tell you who you should be, it's to help you understand what's happening, figure out what you want, and build the tools to move forward.

Therapy doesn't have to look one particular way.

Sometimes  we talk.

​

Sometimes we laugh.

​

Sometimes we sit with the really

uncomfortable stuff.

​

Sometimes we challenge the thoughts that are keeping you stuck. 

​

Sometimes we need practical tools because knowing WHY you're struggling isn't enough.

​

Therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to the person sitting in front of me, not a one-size-fits-all formula.

Maybe you're 
here because...

Whatever brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.

You're exhausted from constantly holding everything together.

Your brain won't shut up.

Your relationship feels harder than it used to.

You're struggling to set boundaries without feeling guilty.

something happened and you're still carrying it. 

you know something needs to change but you don't know where to start.

you're the person everyone comes to... and you're tired.

you just don't feel like yourself lately.

What brings people to therapy?

When your brain won't shut up!

Anxiety, Overthinking, 

ADHD, Emotional overwhelm.

When you're ready for something different.

Self worth, Confidence, Identity, Personal  growth.

When relationships feel complicated.

Couples, Boundaries, Communication, People pleasing.

When life involves more than just you.

Families, Parenting, Adolescents.

When you're carrying something heavy.

Trauma, Difficult experiences, Life transitions.

Different
Challenges.
Same goal...
Feeling better.

What therapy
with me actually
looks like.

01

We talk.

You tell me what's going on. No perfectly organized story required.

02

We figure out what's underneath it.

Patterns, thoughts, emotions, relationships, experience, nervous systems responses    -you name it 

03

We make it practical.

Because insight is great. Knowing what to actually do with that insight is even better.

04

We practice.

Tools, strategies, boundaries, regulation, communication, thought work and whatever else makes sense for you. 

05

We adjust as we go.

Therapy isn't a straight line. Neither is life.

You don't
have to...

Know exactly what's wrong.

have the right words.

wait until it gets worse.

be in crisis.

have a five-year plan.

know what kind of therapy you need.

You just have to start somewhere.

Not sure if therapy is right for you?

Let's have a conversation.

15-minute complimentary consultation.

No pressure. No commitment. Just a chance to see if we're a good fit.
