Meet Laura

My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered. From the first session, I collaborate with clients to set measurable, realistic goals and create actionable plans. I specialize in life transitions, women’s issues, trauma, chronic and terminal illness, grief and loss, burnout, and anxiety/depression, providing a supportive environment to navigate life’s challenges. I believe in "beginning therapy with the end in mind," fostering a space focused on insight and problem-solving at the client’s pace. I look forward to working with you to achieve your wellness goals!
