More about Laura

- LMHC
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and the lasting effects of trauma. My approach is grounded in compassion and a deep commitment to helping you reconnect with your sense of self-worth and inner strength.
I specialize in supporting women and young adults as they work through complex issues—including grief from divorce and separation, family dynamics, communication struggles, and the weight of guilt and shame. I'm particularly skilled at helping clients process trauma, dissociation, and codependent patterns, while also building healthier relationships and coping strategies during major life transitions.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard and supported without judgment. I draw on evidence-based approaches to help you move through pain toward greater self-love, clarity, and resilience.
If you're ready to take that courageous first step toward healing, I'm honored to walk alongside you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
