Meet Laura

I offer a calm, supportive and emotionally safe environment, without judgment. I am committed to helping clients work through life’s difficult challenges. Personally, I am a cancer survivor, I care for my aging parent in my home, and I understand blended family dynamics with both bio and step-children. I bring empathy and a lived perspective to my work. My clinical experience includes years of working as a clinician in an inpatient psychiatric hospital and currently providing mental health therapy. I look forward to supporting you in a safe and respectful therapeutic space.

My style is laid back and I provide an emotionally safe environment, without judgment, for all my clients.
