Hi, my name is Laura. I invite you to come as you are, into a space of acceptance and compassion. Whether you’re facing a recent shift, past trauma, loss, struggling with substance use, anxieties or depression my goal is to provide a supportive environment for exploration and emotional healing. My style is warm, interactive, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I enjoy forming genuine connections with my clients and will gladly share a good laugh or be witness to a much needed cry. We’ll slow things down and identify values, patterns, and priorities in order to work towards a life balance that feels right for you.
I'm here to empower you. Working together, we will expand your understanding of yourself and others, and work toward meaningful change. You deserve to feel seen, heard, and understood. I have a decade of experience walking alongside my clients as they face their traumas,
walk through their grief, learn to expand their limiting beliefs, gain insight, and develop a deeper sense of self by following their intuition. I will support you in practicing skills to cope with triggers, manage anxiety, set boundaries, and maintain mental and emotional wellness. I look forward to holding space for you.
