Let's do this together.
Hi, I'm Laura
Counsellor. Wife. Mom. Plant Lady. Sports Parent. Human
I'm a counsellor, but I am also all the other things. I'm the person who's definitley had moments where I thought, "Okay... WTF am I supposed to do with this?"
And guess what? You're not alone.
The short version...
I'm a married mom of two, a sports parent (hockey, soccer, gymnastics - you name it!), a plant lover (aka crazy plant lady), and someone who loves the outdoors, camping, paddle boarding, snowboarding, travel, and all the good things in life.
​
I also have ADHD (diagnosed at almost 40) and yes it explains A LOT! I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, like your brain is running a million miles an hour, and still be expected to "have it all together".
​
I've been in the helping profession since 2010, and I've worked in a variety of roles- from Red Deer Housing Team and AISH, to Children's Services (which was not the right fit), to private practice (where I've been for the past 3 years)
Real life.
Real experiences.
Real empathy.
I’ve always been drawn to the people who feel like they’re carrying more than anyone else can see.
The person who looks like they have it together but is completely overwhelmed inside. The teenager who feels misunderstood. The partner who has lost themselves somewhere along the way. The person who keeps showing up for everyone else while quietly wondering, “When do I get to fall apart?”
I do this work because I believe people deserve a place where they don't have to perform, pretend, or have all the answers.
A place where you can be honest about the messy stuff. Where we can laugh when things are ridiculous, sit with the hard stuff when they aren't, and figure out what actually helps you move forward.
I don't believe there's one “right” way to be a person—or one right way to do therapy. Life is complicated, people are complicated, and sometimes what we need is a little understanding, a different perspective, a practical tool, or someone willing to sit beside us while we figure out what comes next.
