- Laura’s Master of Education in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy is from the University of Toronto. She has a long history of working with teens and families. Prior to her Masters, she was at the Distress Centre in Calgary where she provided a wide range of emotional support and crisis intervention to teens experiencing a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, self-harm, and grief. Before that, she worked with youth and their families within the school and community setting.
Laura’s hope is to help teens make sense of their experiences, utilize their strengths to cope with challenges, and be their authentic selves. Her hope with families is to help improve communication, restore connection, and heal from generational patterns. You will experience Laura as warm, caring and compassionate, allowing teens and families to share their stories, be understood, and feel empowered.
Coming from Colombia at the age of 6, Laura knows first-hand the difficulties that may arise when adapting to a new culture. She welcomes the opportunity to work with teens and families from diverse backgrounds. Laura is passionate about working from a humanistic, culturally-sensitive, and trauma-informed approach to best foster healing and growth. Her integrative approach draws on various evidence-based approaches such as Emotion-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Narrative therapy, as well as Compassion and Mindfulness-based practices. Outside of therapy, Laura loves being creative through dance, embroidering, playing the ukulele, and reading.
If requested, Laura is able to provide therapy in Spanish.
