About

Hi! I’m Laura. Every person has a story to tell and deserves a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space to tell them. I work with folks from all walks of life with complex stories and experiences, and I’m particularly skilled at helping those who are struggling with trauma healing and recovery, self-compassion, relational and attachment wounds, identity exploration, dismantling perfectionism and people-pleasing, navigating difficult life adjustments, and managing mood issues such as depression and anxiety. I believe that all aspects of wellness should be inclusive, collaborative, and full of compassion. I work within an intersectional perspective to cultivate a space that is inclusive and welcoming to all. In our work together, we will honor your intersecting identities and how they influence the way you see and experience the world. We will also acknowledge the sometimes painful realities of the human experience and discover ways to cope with them. We will explore aspects of the past, challenges in the present, and hopes for the future to create the life you want while leaning into your natural strengths (yes, they’re there, I promise!). Together, we’ll learn to find a balance between acceptance of yourself as you are while courageously challenging and changing unhealthy patterns that prevent you from living the life you want. My approach is modern and eclectic, integrating EMDR, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and narrative techniques with psychodynamic, feminist, existential, and humanistic theories. This means I draw from multiple modalities to personalize your treatment based on your needs. Ultimately, my goal is to help you find clarity and healing while creating meaningful and sustainable change.
