Let's walk together
Counselling & Consulting
Tell your story, it matters.
A gentle, understanding presence for your healing journey
A safe space to share
where your story is heard and valued
Understanding your experiences
with curiosity and compassion
Culturally sensitive support
honoring your background and identity
I believe in meeting you where you are, with kindness and without judgment. My approach is gentle yet thoughtful, drawing from evidence-based practices while always keeping your comfort and pace at the center. As someone who has navigated my own journey, I understand the courage it takes to reach out for support.
Together, we'll explore what's important to you, at a pace that feels right. There's no pressure, no expectations— just a warm, welcoming space where you can be yourself.
About Laura
As a woman of color with a background in counselling psychology, I bring a rich cultural perspective to my counseling practice. I have been an immigrant for almost half of my life, having the opportunity to live, study and work in 5 different countries. This has made me better understand the complexities of transitions, culture and diversity.
Cultural sensitivity, inclusion, and a trauma-informed approach are the foundation of my practice. I view the therapeutic relationship as a powerful tool, always placing the client at the center and valuing them as the experts in their lives.
I meet individuals where they are, guiding them through challenges with curiosity, support, and understanding.
