About Laura
Hello, I’m Laura. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my aim is to help adolescents, adults, and family systems develop the skills to address and navigate through the messy and painful parts of their lives. Regardless of life stage and age, we can all find ourselves in overwhelming, lonely, distressing places.
Along the therapeutic journey, I seek to provide warmth and safety, education and useful tools, and consistent time and space to usher in insight, freedom, and healing. Specializing in EMDR (trauma work), I consider it one of life’s greatest privileges to watch mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical healing transpire as beautiful change takes root in peoples’ hearts and lives.
I acknowledge the courage it takes to face our pain and journey towards deeper understanding, which most often involves going back before we can go forward, but please hear me when I say, I believe it is a road worth traveling.
As a wife and mom of four young children, I understand how hectic and complex life can be. I will meet you wherever you are and seek to accommodate your shifting needs, goals, and schedules. I’d love to help you and your family discover how to thrive.
