Laurel (she/her) is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with over a decade of experience supporting adults and teens through a wide range of life experiences and challenges. She brings a practical, compassionate, and collaborative approach to her work, creating a space where clients can feel supported, understood, and able to explore what is happening in their lives with curiosity and care. Laurel supports clients navigating major life transitions, anxiety, grief and bereavement, relationship concerns, chronic pain and illness, trauma, and burnout. She also works with educators experiencing fatigue and burnout, as well as neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism. Laurel is particularly interested in helping clients explore patterns in their thinking, feeling, relating, and behaving, creating greater awareness and opportunities to make choices that feel more meaningful and sustainable. Her approach is grounded in curiosity, integrity, and collaboration. Laurel works alongside clients to better understand their experiences, develop compassionate awareness of themselves, and find practical ways to reconnect with the parts of life that matter most to them. She also provides clinical supervision for counsellors. Outside of her counselling work, Laurel is a type-B mom to two young kiddos and a dog-mom to a spirited Jack Russell. She has an uncanny ability to fail miserably at cooking, no matter how much she practices, but her memory for the lyrics to 90s music is top notch.
