Like it or not, relationships take work. What do you and your partner do to maintain your connection?

An empathic statement conveys an understanding of felt experience.  While your partner may not have been fired from a job, and may not agree with your outrage, they can most likely relate to the experience of being rejected or treated unfairly (if that's your perception).  When couples make empathic connection a priority over advice giving, problem solving, or avoiding (for fear they'll say something wrong), life stressors become easier to navigate and their bond strengthens.  The majority of human pain is universal, though the circumstances that cause emotional pain vary.  Take the time to look for common emotional themes, even when you can't change the circumstance.  The comfort is in feeling like someone 'gets' you.

First and foremost, I’m a human on my own mysterious journey of healing and transcendence.

I believe we have more in common than not, and we all have the capacity to evolve far beyond our culturally-imposed limitations.

I believe in a natural and timely unfolding of individual growth that can be supported by intention, mentorship, and commitment.  In short, you will find what you are seeking if what you seek is truth.

I am a s**t disturber, a challenger, a critical thinker.  I am not a settler on any front.

Staying focused on one task at a time is hard for me.  Focusing on a single topic is not.

My favourite question is “How do you know what you don’t know?” - It drives my curiosity.

I am a proud and devoted mother.  I am a committed life partner.  I love dogs, adventure, dancing and good food. Mostly I love starting over each day.

I am a psychologist constantly in search of more efficient ways to support authentic human connection.  I approach life and therapy from a trauma-informed holistic lens, integrating psycho-spiritual practice with neurobiology.  My work is heavily informed by Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, EMDR, Somatic Experience, Emotion Focused Couples Therapy, and PACT.  My practice is full, but I am beginning to find ways to offer group supports through retreats, workshops and online cohorts.

It’s taken me a long time to find peace and purpose in this world. To honour my voice, my intuition, my gifts.  It is my privilege to accompany you on your path, in whatever form that takes.  I wish you strength and courage as you find your way.

With the deepest respect, Laurie
