I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 3 years of experience in the field of mental health. I specialize in working with adults, teens, and families who are struggling with depression, anxiety, burnout, and other mental health issues. I also have experience working with LGBTQ+ clients.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and strengths-based. I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow, and I work with my clients to identify their strengths and resources. I also believe that it is important to create a safe and supportive space where clients can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. I offer individual, family, and group therapy. I also offer teletherapy, which means that you can meet with me from the comfort of your own home.
I specialize in the following areas:
Depression
Anxiety
Burnout
Family therapy
Teen therapy
LGBTQ+ therapy
What to Expect, Your first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other and discuss your goals for therapy. I will ask you about your history, your current concerns, and what you hope to achieve in therapy. I will also explain my approach to therapy and answer any questions that you have.
There is no right or wrong way to prepare for your first session. Some people find it helpful to write down a list of questions or concerns that they want to discuss. Others prefer to simply come in and see how things go.

Laura is awesome! She takes the time to let you talk, determine your conversations, give you practice exercises to help with situations, and is just a caring person to vent to. I totally recommend her!
