Welcome! I am Lauren.
I am an IFS and EMDR trained therapist. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with The College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC).
I believe that one of the bravest things you can do is decide you don’t have to do it alone.
I work with individuals and couples so that they can understand themselves in a new and positive way. My approach entails creating a safe, open, and engaging space that facilitates self-discovery.

My Background
As a certified therapist with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and a scientific background including 20 years of experience in healthcare, I have the understanding of the holistic approach needed to look at biological and mental processes.
This might be a good fit if...
- The imprint of complex or relational trauma that echoes through your relationships and sense of self
- Anxiety that lingers beneath the surface, or arrives without warning
- Depression that makes the simplest things feel heavy or out of reach
- ADHD patterns that leave you feeling scattered, behind, or misunderstood
- Grief that doesn’t follow a timeline, or that others don’t quite understand
- Stress and burnout that have become your baseline, not the exception
- Trauma that lives in the body and shapes how you move through the world
- A sense of self-worth that feels fragile, conditional, or hard to hold onto
- Relationship dynamics that feel stuck, distant, or caught in the same cycles
- Couples communication patterns that lead to disconnection rather than understanding
- Couples conflicts that surface again and again, leaving both partners feeling unheard
My work is for individuals and couples ready for meaningful, lasting change rather than quick fixes.
My Therapeutic Philosophy
I work hard to create an environment where you are an active participant in your own therapy. I value trust as an integral part of the therapeutic relationship. I work to build and maintain the trust of my clients so that it can be a space for you to show up fully.
I am passionate about assisting individuals and couples to achieve their goals through empowerment and strength-based approaches. I seek to understand my clients from their view of healing and offer an environment where they can communicate their thoughts and feelings.
What approaches will we use in session?
I am trained and certified in Internal Family Systems Trained and EMDR.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a compassionate, evidence-based approach that is a shift from thinking about ourselves to be in connection with ourselves. It helps clients explore and heal inner parts of themselves that hold pain or protection. In addition, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy and other mindfulness-based approaches.
Choosing the right therapist can be a challenging process, and it’s important to feel comfortable with the person you’re working with. I offer a free initial phone consultation so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. Feel free to reach out to schedule a time to chat!
