My priority is fostering a confidential and caring working relationship through which you can explore areas for growth and your existing resilience. My training and experience in multiple unique settings with a diverse client base has helped me to develop a strong belief in individuals’ power to bring sustainable change to their lives. I acknowledge the difficulty involved in taking the first steps toward initiating psychotherapy. Please reach out for individual or couple’s therapy consultation if you have general questions or would like to determine whether I would be a good fit to help you address your needs.

Are you struggling to know which direction to go in life? Are you looking to begin to address issues that are making your life unmanageable or are you looking to continue to work through issues that are more complicated than you expected? I am an independently licensed therapist that specializes in working with individuals who feel imbalanced, lost and disconnected. I have been told that I have a natural ability to draw out the authentic self and assist those who want to achieve a higher level of emotional and spiritual awareness.

After 30+ years practicing psychotherapy and marriage counseling, I still find relationships issues to be a major reason why people come to therapy. Relationships can sometimes be too emotionally merged, or too emotionally distant and isolating (however, there are times when relationships feel both merged and isolating all at the same time). My focus is on helping people realize and alter emotional issues that pop up over and over again and consistently inhibit relationships. Sometimes we know we're stuck or lost in a relationship, but we just can't figure out...any way 'out' of what we feel.

Crises and life transitions tend to spotlight where we need to grow. I have two typical clients. One is interested in ongoing psychotherapy and has often (though not necessarily) been in therapy before. The other is looking for shorter-term work to sort through a decision or transition. Depression, anxiety, "stuckness" or "emptiness" often inspire people to call. I work with adults of all backgrounds, but have niche experience with many chronic illnesses, including long COVID, MCAS, EDS and cancer; neurodiversity-affirming work with autism & ADHD; older adults & aging; and healthcare & mental health professionals.

Hi, I'm Laura. I originally came into this field to aid others with substance use disorders because I am passionate about it; however, my practice expanded as I entered the field. I started out working in inpatient psychiatric with clients struggling with suicidal ideation, post suicide attempt, homicidal ideation, new or unmanaged psychosis, and alcohol and drug detox. Next, I worked in intensive outpatient for mental health and a residential alcohol and drug treatment center. I've been in private practice telehealth since 2022 and mostly serve those with depression, anxiety, and maintaining a sober lifestyle.

Our individual experiences play a role in shaping our personalities, how we see the world, and how we view ourselves. My goal is to help increase your self-awareness through self-exploration and world-exploration. This approach requires openmindedness, flexibility, and hard work. As a poet, I take a creative approach to nearly all I do, particularly therapy. Life is all about balance and therapy can be emotionally draining work. So I like to make therapy as fun and interesting as possible. I love working with people who are willing to learn, are open to trying new things, who want to grow and like to have fun in the process.

Are you considering therapy but have concerns about finding the "right" therapist or type of treatment? These are important considerations and the decision to seek therapy is a big step. The patient-therapist relationship is a critical component of therapy and it is important to choose as therapist that is a "good fit" for you. Every individual is unique with his/her own personal story and goals. Therefore, therapy must be tailored to the individual. I have training and experience in multiple therapeutic approaches (CBT, REBT, DBT, psychodynamic)
