Hi, I am Laura! I am a Registered Psychologist with a PhD in School and Clinical Psychology. I have specialized training in therapy as well as psycho-educational assessment. In addition to my work as a practitioner, I am a full-time faculty member in the Department of Psychology at MacEwan University where I teach about psychology and assessments.
We all have the capacity to stray from our authentic selves, sometimes to gain approval or acceptance from others, or because our worth is tied to something outside of us. The further we shift from our truest selves, the more we see issues like anxiety and depression arise. I understand that seeking counselling and discussing your concerns with a stranger can be very intimidating. There are times in our lives, however, when this may not only be helpful, but even necessary. My goal is to help you rediscover your authentic self and to find the courage to begin living from a place of truth.
I believe that individuals hold, within themselves, the power to change their circumstances. My goal is to provide the right environment to encourage that growth and development.
Over the past 15 years, I have acquired education, training, and experience in working collaboratively with clients to help them achieve their personal goals. I practice within a person-centered framework and focus on creating an environment where my client feels safe and unconditionally accepted, so they may begin to live more authentically.
At Thrive, I am excited to be offering a variety of assessments for youth, children and young adults on a part time basis.
I would be honoured to support you in your journey of finding and accepting your truest self.
Laura
