Therapy is about progress, not perfection. You are the expert on what works for you, even if it doesn’t seem clear right now. Together we can figure out where support could be helpful. It takes practice to learn to be vulnerable and to find the words to describe our inner lives. All emotions have meaning, and together we can figure out what they’re trying to tell you.
Laurel's style is collaborative, authentic, practical, and compassionate. She adapts and integrates modalities to embrace what works best for you. Laurel always aims to be gender, culture, and body affirming. Laurel includes intuitive, embodied, and communal healing practices into her therapeutic practice.
Caring for your emotional wellness is a powerful act of resistance and self-liberation. Therapy is not the only way to get there, but it can sure help. Finding a therapist that you trust is essential. Reach out to see if I could be a good fit for you and to discuss any accommodations you may need.
