You are full of potential... but something keeps getting in the way. For some reason, you are not living your best life. Maybe you have experienced trauma or struggle with anxiety and depression. You might feel trapped in a cycle of negative thinking, painful emotions, and failing relationships. A part of you may carry burdens of shame, anger or sadness. No matter how bad things seem, there is a part of you that knows change is possible.

I am only accepting new couples therapy clients at this time. With couples, I use a blend of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method to help address their underlying negative interactive cycle and create new ways of connecting to each other with deeper emotional bonds and a more secure attachment. As a trained Developmental and Relational Trauma Therapist (DARTT), I approach every client with curiosity as to how their unique relational histories have shaped them and work to help them heal core wounds that may be left from childhood.

I'm glad you are looking into counseling, it can take awhile to find the right therapist but its worth it. Are you struggling to balance your responsibilities and still find joy? Are depression, anxiety, the past, and or the future all getting in the way of you living the life you want in this present moment? Otherwise know as the human condition. We all have times when we need to explore and shift patterns and perspectives, and therapy is a great way to make these changes.

I specialize in facilitating the transformation of acute, complex and developmental trauma through honing and honoring intuition and connection with body, mind and spirit. The way back from emotional overwhelm occurs through reconnecting to our vital self, community and awakening or deepening our connection with the more than human world. Together we will work to identify the root causes of negative behaviors and beliefs, while learning to regulate the nervous system and rewire the brain for maximum vitality and coherence.

You are worthy of love, honor, trust, dignity, and respect. But as trauma and grief accumulate, the harder it is to believe. The time to process past hurts is now. You can create healthy relationships and increase self-esteem. Choosing therapy takes grit and determination. You have these traits! It is an honor to accompany you during this sometimes difficult, but tremendously rewarding journey. I am committed to providing a safe space to allow you to sort through experiences and begin the process of self-actualization. Let's get started....

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm a licensed independent clinical social worker who provides treatment for anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive behavior, depression, and life transitions. Whether online or in-person, each of my clients are met with an empathic and non-judgmental approach. As a provider, I recognize the isolation and debilitation that comes with experiencing a mental illness. Thus, I aim to acknowledge, validate, and advocate for the experiences of each client. I provide individual counseling that focuses on the whole person. My approach is to consider all aspects of a person's life in the healing process.

Welcome, I am glad you are here! Maybe you are stressed, overwhelmed, and seeking change in your life. Or maybe you feel stuck and are seeking direction towards personal wellness. You are ready to make the effort but are unsure of what steps to take.

What if you could take control of your past, present and future? With a little support, you can. Everyone can benefit from a little, or a lot, of counseling. Counseling should not be scary or stressful. My goal is to create a safe space where you can be honest and real. It takes great courage to seek help. To heal, grow and thrive people need a truly non-judgmental space in which to explore strengths, weaknesses, fears, past, present, and hopes for the future. I am real, kind, honest, and trustworthy.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
