Laurel is happy to provide an integrative counselling model for increased wellness to her community. Through psychotherapy, mindfulness and yoga she aspires to support and guide people on the path to be their happiest and most empowered selves.

Laurel has been practicing yoga for since 1998 and has been teaching since 2005. Years of studying yoga and examining what makes her happiest in life led her to leave an unfulfilling ten year career as a mechanical engineer in the automotive industry and pursue her passion of helping others through completing her Master in Social Work from Wayne State University in 2012.

Professionally, Laurel has experience working with children, adolescents and adults. She employs techniques of psychotherapy, mindfulness, somatic psychology, art therapy, play therapy, CBT and crisis intervention. She has worked with people suffering from grief, trauma, domestic and sexual violence, job loss, anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses. She is a Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT) and a Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT) with Yoga Alliance and has offered relaxation classes and stress management seminars to companies such as Dura Automotive, DENSO, Windsor Regional Hospital and Enwin Utilities.
