Helping you feel more like yourself again.
I believe growth happens when we have a space we feel seen, heard, and supported—without judgment. My approach is all about meeting you where you are, helping you explore what’s holding you back, and figuring out what actually works for you. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just trying to make sense of things, I’m here to help you navigate it with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
Hi, I'm Laura.
I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and compassion. Therapy with me is a non-judgmental, supportive space where you can:
​
Explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences
Challenge the beliefs that keep you stuck
Grow beyond limitations and into your most authentic self
Collaborative & Empowering
I view therapy as a partnership, where clients take an active role in their own growth. Together, we develop meaningful goals, make sense of thoughts and emotions, and foster deeper self-awareness. I take an active and engaged approach with clients, providing guidance, insights, and knowledge that help you reflect, gain clarity, and build confidence. My goal is to empower you to feel more in control of your emotions, behaviors, choices, and ultimately, your life—so you can thrive.
Direct & Supportive
My approach in the therapy room balances warmth, directness, and curiosity, so that you feel both supported and challenged. I use humor and lightness to make tough conversations easier—without avoiding the deeper work. ​I believe in your resilience—even when you don’t. I offer real-time feedback, interpretations, and thought-provoking questions to help you challenge unhelpful patterns and shift your mindset. I know growth isn’t always comfortable, which is why my goal is to help you navigate discomfort with confidence, self-trust, and clarity—so life feels easier to manage.
Creative & Curious
In therapy, you’ll be encouraged to approach your thoughts and emotions with curiosity rather than judgment, allowing for self-reflection without self-criticism. Sessions are engaging and tailored to you, using creative approaches to help you gain insight in a way that feels natural and meaningful. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—I present information in a way that resonates with your unique needs, making the process both impactful and personal.
Practical & Transformative
Therapy with me is both reflective and action-oriented—you'll have the space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, while also developing practical tools to apply in real life. My approach blends insight with real-world strategies, helping you grow. To me, therapy isn’t just about support—it’s also an opportunity to gain knowledge, perspective, and tools that deepen your understanding of yourself and your world, so you empowered as you navigate whatever life throws your way.
