Laura (she/her) frequently works with clients who feel stuck in loops of shame, self-criticism, and overthinking that are difficult to step out of. She offers a warm, supportive space to explore inner experiences, including underlying beliefs, assumptions, and reactions that may go unnoticed in daily life. Together, she and her clients make sense of these experiences in a way that supports greater clarity and relief.
Rather than viewing painful patterns or coping strategies simply as problems to eliminate, Laura works with clients to understand how these responses developed and what purpose they may have served. Approaching these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment can open the door to greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and self-trust.
Her integrative, trauma-informed approach draws from insight-oriented therapy as well as parts work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and somatic (mind-body) practices. Moving at a pace that respects each client’s unique history and goals, Laura aims to support meaningful, lasting change.
Clinical Focus: Anxiety, Depression, Family-of-Origin Concerns, Grief & Loss, Life Transitions, Parenting Concerns, Parent-Child Relationship Issues, Perinatal Mental Health, Relational Concerns, Trauma, Youth (ages 14+)
