Individual therapy supporting you to move through life with more clarity, acceptance, and meaning.

Counselling

Life can be wildly
challenging.

What if we can learn to be with this with more choice and a confident knowing of who we are within it?

Try as we might to turn away from what is messy and painful, our body, mind, heart, and spirit are inviting us to turn inward. It is here, deep within, we will meet many parts of ourselves that carry stories, beliefs, and hurts needing tender care and healing. This is the brave work of therapy; not erasing or forgetting the difficulty but leaning in and moving through it.

Let’s journey together.

Meet Laurie

I love people. I love the body and the wisdom it holds - and I celebrate the inherent capacity we have for healing when we feel safe, heard, and connected. As a licensed therapist and social worker, I am grateful every day for what I do alongside those I work with. I show up as a human first, knowing the complexity of what it means to be human; to know both pain and beauty. I’m open and real, inviting you to be the same. I don’t pretend to know the answers… you don’t need mine…but I will work to guide you inward toward your own.

My Approach

Warm. Inviting. Intentional.

I welcome all of who you are, exactly as you are, into a therapeutic relationship that undoes aloneness and creates a safe, meaningful connection. The fine print of therapy is that it can be hard work and I want to meet you, in it. You and your story deserve to be held with care and respect, to be witnessed with an open heart. To hold this sacred space for you is a privilege.

Map

Laurie has the gift of turning her office into a very safe space. She’s met me where I am emotionally each week and intuitively knows when to dig a little deeper. I am someone who can intellectualize my entire life. My trauma, my pain and my unhealthy patterns can be retold and have been to numerous therapists over the years. Laurie is one of the first who has created the safety to feel my emotions, untangling the chaos and shining a gentle light on what may need attention. She’s helped me regulate my nervous system and find my own answers within myself, allowing me to feel active in my own healing while discovering who I am."
