Hi, I'm Laura. I originally came into this field to aid others with substance use disorders because I am passionate about it; however, my practice expanded as I entered the field. I started out working in inpatient psychiatric with clients struggling with suicidal ideation, post suicide attempt, homicidal ideation, new or unmanaged psychosis, and alcohol and drug detox. Next, I worked in intensive outpatient for mental health and a residential alcohol and drug treatment center. I've been in private practice telehealth since 2022 and mostly serve those with depression, anxiety, and maintaining a sober lifestyle.

You’ve been trying to do this alone, and you’re tired of trying. These days, your emotions feel like a minefield – where harsh words, unexpected obstacles or even "good" days can detonate uncontrollable feelings, urges, and actions. When the dust settles, you’re left in a haze of regret and shame. You’ve tried everything to numb out the thoughts and feelings entirely, and over time, other people have been pushed out, too. Alone and confused, you wonder: why does life seem easier for everyone else? Am I unfixable? Does anyone understand what I go through each day?

You are human first before the many roles you play in your life. Sometimes we forget what it means to be human- Making mistakes, making memories, experiencing hardships, experiencing joy, and navigating all of the day-to-day challenges and pleasures of life. Sometimes we lose sight of what is meaningful in our lives which causes feelings of being stuck, overwhelmed, and uninspired. My goal as your therapist is to meet you at your level, whichever stage in life, and to help you navigate the many challenges of the human experience.

Self-Harming Therapists
How does therapy for self-harm work?
A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behavior therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.
Which therapies are best for self-harm?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.
Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?
Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
