Meet Laura

Hi! I am a biracial, empathetic, compassionate, and caring therapist who will meet you where you are in your journey of healing. I understand that the stressors we experience can significantly impact us. They can cause anxiety, recurring thoughts, and leave you struggling to move past things. This can create a ripple effect throughout our lives, affecting school, work, and relationships. I know that coping with and managing these challenges can be difficult. In therapy, we can work together to develop strategies that make things easier for you. I take a genuine and warm, client-centred approach when working with my clients.

I recognize that therapy is not the same for everyone, so I will tailor my approach to fit your unique needs. My work is rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and trauma-informed care. My goal is to offer you a safe and nonjudgmental space where we can collaboratively work to improve your well-being.

In my educational journey, I have completed a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Psychology with a concentration in Forensic Psychology from Carleton University. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO - #13239), and a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).

Having lived both internationally and in Canada, I have gained invaluable life experiences in empowering marginalized communities. I value authenticity, curiosity, and growth. Making the decision to start therapy is a courageous one, and I will be here to listen and support you on your unique path. I invite you to reach out so we can venture on your path of healing together.

Outside of our sessions, I enjoy a wide range of activities. On weekends, you may find me painting (not very well), cooking and baking, going on nature walks, or spending time with friends and family. My favorite time of year is autumn. There is nothing more beautiful than walking through the forest and admiring the colourful leaves. Much like the fall leaves, we can learn to embrace change and all its beauty in therapy.
