I believe therapy should be both supportive and effective. I work collaboratively with clients using evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help them create meaningful, lasting change. My style is warm, practical, and results-driven—focused on helping you better understand yourself, develop effective coping strategies, and move forward with clarity and confidence. At the core of my work is a simple belief: I help people reach their full potential.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Animal Assisted Intervention Specialist (C-AAIS) with nearly a decade of experience in the mental health and social services field.
My work has spanned a range of settings, including family homeless shelters, emergency rooms, prisons, and outpatient levels of care including individual, group, and community based family therapy.
These experiences have deeply shaped how I understand people, not as problems to be fixed, but as complex humans shaped by our relationships, environments, and histories.

I work with clients who are trying to understand how to accept themselves and are looking to create a strong therapeutic relationship with a counselor. I believe that clients who have acknowledged that they need help in certain areas and are looking to put in the work needed to achieve their goals are going to get the most out of our time together.

I offer holistic therapy to help women escape the veil of anxiety and live authentically. Clients I work with struggle with complex emotions. Despite being intelligent, hard-working, and having a witty sense of humor, life isn’t all rainbows and sunshine. When they first come to see me, they are exhausted by the never ending loop of “what if” scenarios and often find themselves trying to be perfect or pretend that they have it all together. If you’re ready to drop anxiety and find self-compassion, I'm your gal! We will work together to reclaim your inner knowing, find your voice, and live your most authentic life.

Clients struggle with overwhelming feelings of anxiety and depression, some with grief, and some with past trauma.
The psychotherapy I practice provides my clients with relief from feeling unhappy, with a better understanding of their unhappiness, and gives them hope for the future. To achieve these goals, I seek to develop a trusting connection by listening carefully to the experiences and feelings my clients describe; what they put into words, and what they may not have said. As both the client and I begin to explore and understand these experiences, new patterns of thought and then behavior emerge. This is how, together, we create the space for healing, and thereby new opportunities arise in their lives.

I work mostly with individuals in their 20s and 30s who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, navigating interpersonal relationships, and issues around self-esteem and identity crises.
I do not see therapy as a one size fits all mentality and believe that every session is your time to share what is on your mind, what has been bothering you, and what thoughts and feelings have been lingering in your mind. I will support you through your ups and downs, and most importantly help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

Hi, I'm Laura. I help adults better understand themselves, quiet their inner critic, and process past hurts. Maybe you struggle to say no, second-guess your needs, or feel responsible for others’ emotions. You may be untangling the impact of emotionally immature parents, navigating neurodivergence or high-functioning anxiety, or carrying complex trauma. You also might also feel unsure how or where to begin. That is completely okay, and therapy can help.

I invite individuals, couples, and families into my practice. People deserve a therapist who is unafraid to go into the depths where your sorrow, your pain, your trauma, and/or your struggle exists. With me, you’ll get a therapist who is willing to go there with you, with compassion, gentleness and care. I will seek to understand you and will strive to see you fully. There may be tears but there will also be room for laughter. I believe you can’t have dark without light. My goal is to compassionately walk with you toward the roots of those things that are holding you back from being truly alive and thriving in healthy relationships.
