About Laura
I believe in the strength and potential that exist within each person, even when life’s challenges make those resources hard to recognize. Every journey is unique, and I approach therapy with respect for your particular story and experiences. Whether you are facing emotional burnout or past trauma, searching for meaning, or navigating life transitions, I truly believe you have the resilience to not only overcome, but thrive. Struggles are not signs of brokenness, but opportunities for growth, healing, and transformation—even in tough times, there is always hope and a path forward. Together, we can uncover your inner strength to help you face difficulties with newfound clarity and confidence.
I believe each person has the power to create change; sometimes all it takes is acquiring the right tools to move forward. Working together within a safe, non-judgmental space, we will design a plan tailored to your journey, drawing from various therapeutic approaches. As we discover what works best for you, you will build skills to cope, as well as thrive.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you do not need to navigate this journey alone—I am here to support you with a compassionate, collaborative approach. I invite you to reach out and book a session or free phone consultation with me, and together we can start to explore your challenges and work toward meaningful progress in a way that feels right for you.
