My Services
You deserve a judgment-free space to come exactly as you are. I offer individualized therapy, positive parenting strategies, special education advocacy, workshops, and clinical supervision—all tailored to support your unique needs.
1
Therapy
I use an eclectic approach, tailoring therapy to each client’s needs and preferences. Some people like to take the lead and bring in what they want to work on, while others prefer more structure and a back-and-forth dialogue. I enjoy incorporating creativity and movement to empower clients toward positive change. As a trauma-informed therapist, I help clients safely regulate emotions, identify “stuck” thought patterns, and use tools to gain a new perspective. My goal is that every client leaves sessions with realistic, hands-on strategies they can apply within the chaos of daily life.

I first got to know Laura as a fellow school counselor. I thought then that she would be able to help many through her creative way of interacting with students, creating safety and stability in which to freely share issues. Most recently I have been impressed by her willingness to pursue every avenue to best support her clients, displaying a great degree of commitment and ingenuity in her dealings with them.

I know I am in the best hands with Laura, she creates a safe space to share and has always provided me with honest feedback, empathy, and guidance. I highly recommend Laura’s services!

Laura was incredibly intuitive with the needs of my sister during her postpartum struggles. She checked in, always at the times when we needed her most. Our family was grateful to have Laura on our team and apart of my sister’s support system. It was extremely helpful to have someone with experience to help guide us through this emotional and exhausting time. She not only helped manage the logistics of getting medical help when suffering with postpartum, she thought outside the box with ways to help my sister feel supported.
