Welcome
I’m Laurie, Psychologist and Guide
There are thresholds we cross that quietly reshape us—not through linear milestones, but through initiations— grief, beauty, awe, silence, and the fierce love that comes when illusions fall away and something truer breaks through.
From a young age, I felt the presence of a great mystery. The trees, the sea, the night sky—they all whispered of something more. My inner world was alive and in relationship with the outer world, even without words for it. I was seeking ways to connect, express, and belong.
And yet, like many, I followed the map the world handed me. I moved through systems of achievement and validation, gaining recognition but not fulfillment. Beneath these accomplishments lived a persistent longing for something real, something sacred.
I sought moments that cracked open the ordinary, experiences that dissolved the edges of self. These glimpses temporarily connected me to the mystery I'd always sensed, but the greater challenge remained: how to carry that light into everyday life, how to live connected to something greater beyond fleeting moments of transcendence.
It wasn't one moment that changed everything, it was many. Grief opened me to depths I hadn't known before. Loss rearranged me. Beauty reoriented me. I began to see that what I was seeking wasn't out there, it was within, and had always been.
My path became less about becoming, and more about remembering. Less about fixing, more about wholeness—not an ideal version of myself, but the truth of who I've always been.
I found myself in a culture that often reduced the sacred to symptoms, that separated what I had experienced as whole. What lived in textbooks didn't match what lived in my bones— the knowing that healing happens through reconnection, not just reorganizing parts.
What began as personal search became devotion. I've been shaped by many sources of wisdom, not as answers but as ways of living more deeply. The work I now offer is rooted in this lived practice, not separate from my own becoming.
I do this work because I know the ache of disconnection from self, soul, and something greater. Because I've struggled with perfectionism and the belief that I wasn't enough. Because I've lived the tension between striving for meaning and surrendering into it. Because we are already whole, and the path is one of remembrance.
I walk with others ready to come home to themselves, not by escaping the world, but by meeting it more fully, honestly, and alive. This path isn't just about healing what hurts, but about awakening to the wonder and mystery of being alive. I move with reverence for life—its thresholds, beauty, and complexity.
What I Stand For
I am here to walk beside those at the edge of change, honoring what is raw, real, and still becoming.
I am here to listen for what's true beneath the surface and welcome the unraveling that leads back to wholeness.
I am here for full-spectrum living—grief, joy, shadow, wonder—all of it.
I am here to hold space where nothing has to be earned or performed.
I am here in service to the sacred intelligence moving through all life.
I am here for beauty, not as decoration, but as a way of being.
I am here to support those who are ready to live from soul, not strategy, fostering quiet revolutions that begin within.
I am here because the healing our world needs begins with the healing of the human heart.
Professional Background
My work is rooted in both lived experience and formal study. I hold graduate training in psychology and have spent years weaving together evidence-based, trauma-informed therapeutic approaches with mindfulness, yoga, somatic wisdom, and earth-honoring practices. My path has also been shaped by transpersonal perspectives, the transformative power of ritual, expanded states of consciousness, and deep listening to the more-than-human world.
I draw from depth-oriented, trauma-informed, and holistic frameworks—blending modern psychological insight with ancient ways of knowing. What I offer lives at the intersection of science and spirit, intellect and intuition, healing and wholeness.
