Hi, I’m Laura 👋
I’m an occupational therapist, and I’ve spent the last 18 years working in mental health. Along the way, I also completed a master’s degree in counselling psychology. Together, these give me a mix of practical, everyday strategies and a real understanding of what’s going on underneath.
My work focuses on supporting adults with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence, as well as people navigating mental health challenges and burnout. Whether you’re caught in cycles of procrastination and perfectionism, overwhelmed by everyday demands, or exhausted from trying to meet expectations that don’t fit, I’d love to help you find a different way forward.
It might feel like the answer is another planner, productivity hack, or strategy to try harder. More often, it’s understanding what’s getting in the way, including the frustration and shame that can come with knowing exactly what you need to do but struggling to do it. Together, we can explore your strengths and find approaches that work with your brain rather than against it.
My approach combines practical occupational therapy strategies with an understanding of how executive functioning, emotions, thinking patterns, nervous system regulation, and our environments influence everyday life. Most importantly, I want to understand what matters to you and help you make meaningful changes without feeling you need to change who you are.
I enjoy helping clients connect the dots, think creatively, and discover small shifts that make everyday life more manageable.
Above all, I want you to feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are. My inclusive approach is neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQ+ affirming, offering a warm, collaborative space without judgment, pressure to mask, or expectations to have it all figured out.
