Trust and a positive personal connection are fundamental to the client/counselor relationship.
Sometimes life is hard. You get stuck. You realize that this isn't the life you thought you'd be living. Unexpected life changing events happen. Old patterns or unresolved trauma may hold you back.. My strength is to help support you in an honest and direct way. I want to help you gain insight into the challenges you are facing and the life experiences that have brought you here. With that insight, we can work together to develop a plan for positive change, and give you the tools you need to live the life you want to be living.

I believe it is in the context of relationship that we begin to build an understanding of ourselves and the world. Whether these relationships have been helpful, harmful, or somewhere in between, they shape the way we think, feel and behave. Therefore, as counseling begins we will take time to be curious about how your relational experiences have impacted you. We will explore your past and current stories. We will spend time identifying what is currently troubling you, possible origins of unhelpful coping strategies, and then together identify steps you can take to begin to find healing or freedom.

Email is the best way to contact. Congratulations on taking a big first step to improving your mental health and wellbeing. I’m so glad you’re here. As a queer and non-binary therapist, I understand the importance of feeling represented and validated by those in the healthcare field. My goal is to co-create a safe and supportive space for you to explore and celebrate your authentic self, while also developing strategies to manage difficult life transitions, daily stressors, and relationship challenges. I specialize in working with those in the LGBTQIA+, polyamorous and consensual non-monogamy, and kink communities.

The therapeutic relationship is unique.
Life can be challenging. Whether it's loss, change, death of a loved one or uncertainty of life's direction, we all hit roadblocks and obstacles. During those times it's important to be heard. I am here to listen and to inspire hope. I believe in my clients' abilities to change. I nurture their inner strength until they can believe in themselves. Change is powerful. It can be transformational, scary and exciting. When I worked in Palliative Care with patients who were at the end stage of their lives, I was witness to the power of being present. In the quiet presence of acceptance, a deep healing can occur. PLEASE EMAIL FOR CONSULT

When you are ready to start the process of change, which can be very challenging, you will be amazed at what you can do. My focus is very interactive. I use motivational strategies as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. A few other things mixed in like narrative, solution focused, coping skills, and other evidence based practices are tools available to help you along your journey. My goal is to help you determine your goals, and help you find the quality of life you've been looking for. If you have depression, anxiety, dealing with major grief issues, and/or PTSD, family relationship issues, then give me a call.

I tend to be intuitive, supportive, flexible, challenging, creative and practical. I wonder, "How are you with yourself right now?" How can we now be with "what is" in a way that helpful? Big questions, good explorations. I have both creative and traditional methods to help you access hidden, healing aspects of yourself. I am willing and able to explore rough, soft, and complex terrain with you. I feel that all life is sacred and that we are here to help each other. I believe that when we are isolated from others and from ourselves, we are in trouble. Groups, individuals, and couples. I also train others in group work.

We are truly living in troubled times, globally and personally. Many of us find ourselves fluctuating between feelings of anxiety and/or depression. At 67 years old, I’ve spent nearly half my life – 35 years – as a Marriage and Family Therapist/Psychotherapist. Adding Hypnotherapy to my practice has been a game changer, and that, along with friends, colleagues, and many clients, I’ve learned ways of managing my thinking and thereby managing my emotions. This is what I do in my private practice and I can help you to do the same.

At certain points in life you will be presented with challenges that temporally overwhelm your ability to cope. Anxiety, depression, post-traumatic distress and other emotional and interpersonal problems are common responses to being overwhelmed.

In order to be effective, therapy has to be reality based. Yes, we have a brain, but we are more than a brain. We are more than a body; we're more than our trauma. We are complex, multi level souls. Parts of our psyche get stuck, stranded through trauma or neglect and our individuality languishes. So we adapt. These adaptations become obstacles to living rich and full lives; instead we're anxious, depressed, conflicted, or hopeless. All is not lost, however, because behind the distress remains the untouched essence of your being longing for liberation. I am here to help free you from the bondage of your past.

Therapy is a collaborative process between the therapist and client. I approach the therapeutic process as a powerful opportunity for clients to cultivate change and deepen awareness in their lives. I create a compassionate and accepting therapeutic environment where clients can feel safe to explore opportunities for personal and interpersonal growth. I am especially sensitive to how oppression impacts mental health and identity.

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm a licensed independent clinical social worker who provides treatment for anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive behavior, depression, life transitions, and more. Whether online or in-person, each of my clients are met with an empathic and non-judgmental approach.

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.

My 34 years as a Sex Therapist in private practice has enabled me to work with a large variety of relationships, sexual problems & intimacy issues. I can offer a safe place to discuss, explore, and create solutions for whatever difficulty you're experiencing. Some Sex Therapy is short term (1-6 months) and often involves sexual education & permission to experience pleasure. Most Sex Therapy requires longer term therapy (1-2 years) because of relational dynamics, unhealthy beliefs about sexuality, anxiety, attachment issues from childhood, unresolved grief, trauma recovery, learning to identify & convey your sexual needs/wants.
