I started my career working with a population having developmental and mental challenges. I decided after a lot of praying that I wanted to get my master's degree and be a counselor for that population. God had other plans for me. God directed me to work with a population that was in need. That population is in corrections. I have had the opportunity to work with those who self-harm, are depressed and or anxious, have low self-esteem, have personality disorders, have psychotic disorders, challenging irrational beliefs and mood disorders. I also have had the opportunity to work in a state hospital with those with the same struggles.I believe that God is moving me into another direction at this time and as many know, with change comes anxiety due to the unknown so most of us deal with some type of anxiety and depression during our lifetime.
I have been told by those I know and those I have just met that I am a good listener and empathetic. I care about people and want them to feel free to be open and know that there will be no judgement. I am not here to judge anyone but instead have an open mind and work with you to see you overcome the struggles that life brings. I believe in treating others with respect, dignity and compassion.
I use cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, client-centered, and motivational interviewing. I believe that each person is unique and what works for one person may not work for another so all treatment is based on the individual.

Laura is kind. She hears you and passes no judgement. Her belief in God is something I align with, which was really important to me when being matched with a therapist. She is quick to respond and provides worksheets and other helpful information. She gives you credit on the little wins while encouraging the big.

Laura listens very well and asks thought provoking questions that make you self reflect and point you in the right direction to solve your problems. The exercises she has assigned to me have been very eye opening to me and have helped me realize things I may have been ignoring or how I perceived certain things are different than I originally thought they were. Laura is an extremely talented therapist and has helped me in a very quick time frame to resolve some items I have been wrestling with.

Laura has been so attentive, caring, and insightful with me. She is a great listener and has really pinpointed specific areas in my life that I could be working through and processing. She is a Christian counselor which I absolutely love so she sends me Bible verses that are encouraging and uplifting. She also sends me worksheets that help me write out and understand my emotions in a healthy and productive way.
