About Laura

Laura is a Registered Psychotherapist who offers a trauma-focused, integrative approach to therapy. She works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, overwhelm, attachment trauma, and relational challenges. Her work draws from psychodynamic, somatic, experiential, and Internal Family Systems (parts work), and may include hypnotherapy, the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and equine-assisted psychotherapy.

Laura is trained in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and provides preparation and integration support for clients working with psilocybin, ayahuasca, and ketamine. She supports clients in approaching these experiences safely and integrating insights through reflection and meaning-making to support lasting change. She is neurodivergent affirming, a 2SLGBTQIA+ ally, and committed to creating an inclusive and respectful therapeutic space.

Her work is shaped not only by professional training, but by her own lived experience of navigating mental health challenges and seeking deeper healing beyond traditional approaches. After years of feeling limited by conventional treatment, Laura pursued a more holistic path, including transformative work with plant medicines. These experiences deepened her understanding of the mind-body connection and continue to inform her approach to therapy.

In 2014, Laura met Gabor Maté, whose mentorship played a significant role in her personal and professional development. This marked the beginning of a multi-year journey of self-exploration and growth that ultimately led her to formal training in psychotherapy. She went on to study Existential-Integrative Psychotherapy in Toronto and completed her Master’s in Counselling Psychology in 2023.

Laura’s connection to horses has also been a meaningful part of her healing. After reconnecting with them later in life, she trained as a FEEL® Facilitator and now integrates equine-assisted psychotherapy into her work, offering clients a unique, experiential path to insight and regulation.

Known for her intuitive attunement and direct approach, Laura helps clients access emotions and patterns that may feel just out of reach, while also gently challenging what is keeping them stuck. Her work is grounded in honesty, compassion, and a belief that meaningful change requires both insight and action.

Today, Laura brings together her clinical training, lived experience, and deep respect for both human and animal wisdom to support clients in creating lasting change and reconnecting with themselves in a deeper, more authentic way.
