Who This Therapy is For

This is for you if…

You’ve spent years putting others first at the expense of yourself
You feel anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you’re never “enough”
You’re craving emotional clarity, boundaries, or deeper self-understanding
You want a soft space to explore the patterns that keep you stuck

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need a willingness to begin.

Say hello to Laura, your therapist

I support adults and couples in Ontario who feel emotionally overwhelmed, unseen, or like they’ve been carrying too much for too long.

If connection feels hard, if your mind won’t slow down, or if your body is always braced for the next thing – you’re not alone.

My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and somatic. I offer a space to notice what’s happening inside, connect with what’s true, and make room for the parts of you that have been coping on their own for too long.

Together, we’ll gently move through the patterns that once protected you — like people-pleasing, overthinking, or emotional disconnection — toward something calmer, safer, and more you.

Fill out the intake forms

If it feels like a good match, you’ll receive secure online forms where you can share more about your history, current struggles, and intentions for therapy. This helps us begin with clarity and compassion from day one.

Begin your sessions

We’ll meet online or in-person at a pace that honours your nervous system. Sessions are collaborative, client-led, and rooted in deep self-exploration - whether you’re navigating anxiety, people-pleasing, identity, relationship patterns, or emotional overwhelm.
