Are you struggling with thoughts, feelings or beliefs that are causing distress or interfering with your life? Are you seeking a stronger sense of self and greater confidence in your relationships? You may feel stuck in patterns that don’t serve you but you aren’t sure how to change them. Whatever brings you here, you’ll find a space where you can feel heard, understood, and genuinely accepted.

Hello, I’m Laura, a Licensed Professional Counselor and substance abuse therapist. I’ve been practicing for nearly three decades. Over the years, my work has continued to evolve as I’ve gained new perspectives, experiences, and a deeper understanding of what helps people move forward.

My clients describe me as friendly, relatable, and easy to talk to. Therapy with me is a very collaborative process where I help you make sense of things that have felt confusing and overwhelming. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on inside, not just what shows up on the surface.

I utilize various evidenced-based psychotherapies and treatment methods effective with mood disorders, low self-esteem, relational problems, trauma, and substance abuse, to name a few. I frequently use Internal Family Systems (IFS) because I find it particularly powerful for creating change without shame or judgment. IFS helps us understand the protective patterns that develop within us and approach them with curiosity rather than criticism. When we begin to understand ourselves in this way, it can become easier to respond to life with greater confidence, flexibility, and self-compassion.

My clients often describe meaningful growth in their ability to navigate difficult emotions, remain grounded in challenging moments, and in handling important conversations with greater confidence and ease. They develop greater clarity about what they need and want, stronger boundaries, and a kinder, less self-critical relationship with themselves.

If you are looking for meaningful, transformative work and the opportunity to gain deeper clarity we can accomplish a lot together!
