About me
Hi, I’m Laura and I love helping people build lives they love!
In the therapy room, you will quickly discover that I care deeply about my clients and that I love to laugh. You’ll find me to be a straight shooter who will tell you hard things because I care too much about you just to tell you what you want to hear. (Also, therapy is expensive, and I don’t want to waste your time and money.)
Allow me to help -
I became a therapist because I hated seeing people suffer with issues like anxiety and depression and I wanted to be part of the solution.
However, mental health care isn’t just an academic exercise for me - great counseling has helped me heal and grow over the years. I’ve done my own work, and I will never ask you to do something I am unwilling to do myself.
I love working with people who tend toward over-work and perfectionism because I find them to be deeply caring and conscientious people who can accomplish amazing things when their energy is channeled in healthy ways.
Likewise, people pleasers are a delight to work with because once they find their freedom, they find their joy!
You want a nerd for a therapist. Allow me to explain.
I have an undergraduate degree in psychology and a master’s in counseling, and still I am ALWAYS learning. Literally. Learning is actually my hobby (one of these days, nerdiness is going to be cool, and then I will be golden!).
I am fascinated by neuroscience and I am trained in a trauma-informed approach to therapy, meaning I am going to “get” you on a whole other level and help you understand yourself in new ways.
