William is a Registered Psychotherapist with a Master of Arts degree in Counselling and Spirituality from St. Paul University. His academic and clinical training focuses on trauma, resilience, and the integration of emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being.
William’s Master’s thesis explored the experiences of spouses of public safety personnel (PSP), examining how psychoeducational programs could support their mental health and relationships. This research fuels his commitment to working with first responders and their families, understanding the unique stressors they face, including secondary trauma and occupational stress.
In addition to his academic work, William brings diverse experiences to his practice. He served as a reservist in the Canadian Armed Forces, gaining valuable insights into resilience, discipline, and the psychological impact of high-stress environments. He has also volunteered as a crisis line responder, offering emotional support, de-escalation, and practical resources to individuals in moments of acute distress.
Laura practices mainly from a compassion-based, humanistic approach in her work with individual adults and couples. She uses a trauma-informed lens, coupled with attachment-based approaches while working with anxiety, depression, relational and mood-related issues. Laura practices at our Orleans Clinic, located in Centrum Plaza.
