I’m Laura, a Registered Social Worker dedicated to helping adolescents and adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion.

I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Trent University and a Master of Social Work with a specialization in Health and Mental Health from the University of Toronto. My areas of interest include anxiety and mood concerns, emotion dysregulation, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), parenting, and major life transitions. My work incorporates trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and culturally sensitive approaches.

My career began at the Child Development Institute’s Camp Towhee Program, where I discovered a passion for supporting young people facing mental health challenges. This passion led me to South Korea, where I worked in both elementary and high schools. Since then, I have gained experience in hospital and government agency settings.

In our work together, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space marked by patience and gentle curiosity. I believe that even in the toughest circumstances, meaningful change is possible. I'm here to support you every step of the way, combining clinical expertise with warmth to help you achieve your goals.
