Hi there, I'm Laurie! Do you wish providers would look at you through a whole person lens instead of discussing health and mental health separately? Do you want a provider for your child who is playful and skilled at engaging children? Are you an adult who likes a more personal, connected approach to therapy? Do you have a teen who has had difficulty connecting to other providers? Well look no further! I enjoy using storytelling, videos, and conversation to help clients of all ages improve self-esteem, self-worth and gain a better understanding of sense of self.

Are you feeling unrelenting worry, sadness, or overwhelm? Or is life not meeting your expectations? These feelings can be paralyzing and affect all areas of our lives. It would be my honor to help you navigate through this difficult time and find peace to live a more fulfilling life. I combine an individual approach that focuses on living in the present, helping you to manage life disruptions, and creating the life you want. This can also include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) if we feel it would help you.

Are you stuck? Do you feel like a deer in headlights? Do you feel like you are moving through life just surviving, not really living? Are you constantly dealing with emergencies and putting out fires in your life but never really getting anything you want to do accomplished? Or do you feel lost and without direction, like a ship in the middle of a storm? Sometimes life is hard and painful. And sometimes, the pain or the trauma we have suffered stops us dead in our tracks and keeps us from moving forward. This can be worse for Blacks or those that are being triggered by racial or systemic trauma. Struggling can tire us out!
