You've always been a highly motivated person. Lately, the world has seemed scarier, your life is harder to navigate and you don't feel like you're on the right track. You’re struggling to feel validated and want to find safe place to gain insight and discover creative strategies for struggles.
I’m Laurel. I offer a client-centered approach to help adults and teens with self esteem issues, stress, identity struggles, peer relationships, racism/systemic injustice and life transitions. I'm currently accepting individual clients. Contact me for a consultation today! New client sessions will begin early January 2026.
I specialize in Drama Therapy, a trauma-informed, embodied modality than uses role-play and expression. My approach is relational and strength-based with a pace attuned to your needs and goals. My calling is spiritual and grounded in the belief that everyone who is willing can create positive and affirming changes in their life with the right support.
I have known the feeling of wanting to be seen as a whole person, not just a case number. I have witnessed how different environments and systems can cause harm and worsen mental health struggles. As a practitioner, I ascribe to the trauma-informed industry standard of: You are so much more than the worst thing that has ever happened to you.
