Registered Psychotherapist

About Laura

Hello, I’m Laura. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with experience as a Spiritual Care Practitioner in various hospital settings, spiritual director, and retreat leader.  I am passionate about creating a safe space to find hope, resilience, and a way forward even in the middle of the greatest life challenges.     

​​

How I Can Help: 

In my practice, I support individuals experiencing grief and loss; burnout; caregiver stress; stress and trauma related to critical illness; depression; anxiety; spiritual distress; and life transitions. I offer deep listening and a hopeful stance toward your emotional and psychological well-being and healing. If we work together, we will listen compassionately for what matters most to you in the challenges you are facing, and identify manageable, practical next steps.   

My Therapeutic Practice:

In my sessions I am committed to creating a therapeutic space that is safe to explore the complex experiences of life and one that empowers resiliency. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, identities, faiths, and cultures. I integrate a variety of psychotherapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; Narrative Therapy; PersonCentred Therapy; Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy; and Mindfulness. 

My Professional Journey: 

I came to the work of psychotherapy through seeking to live with authenticity and integrity through the challenges that showed up in my life. After completing a master’s degree from Martin Luther University College (Wilfrid Laurier University) in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy (2019), I worked in a variety of health care settings caring for the psychological, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing of patients.

I am inspired by the hope that lives within us when we turn toward the challenges of life and find the support we need. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), and a member of the Canadian Association for Spiritual Care (CASC). 

Outside Of Work: 

I find inspiration in the beauty of the forest near my home; art and design; reading; travel; and the richness of relationships. While I love deepening ties to the land I live on and my community, I am equally grateful for opportunities to travel and expand my horizons.  ​​​
