About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has more than 21 years of experience in a variety of counseling settings. My holistic approach to counseling addresses your physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. I approach therapy in a very integrative, client-centered manner. To ensure the highest quality care is provided, I draw on a variety of therapeutic techniques including cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused, psychoeducational, trauma-informed, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and more. I promote growth by offering a safe, accepting atmosphere in which you feel heard, validated, and empowered.

It is important to note that due licensing regulations, I am only able to work with clients who reside in VA.

In accordance with these terms I do not provide documentation (meaning letters/reports indicating a diagnosis or attesting to mental fitness for situations such as custody, disability, court mandates, service animals, etc.)

Laura is great. I was skeptical with starting therapy but it’s helped a lot!

Laura is absolutely one of the best people to help me in my mental time of need. A different and knowledgeable viewpoint. Highly recommended.

Written on Sep 17, 2024 after therapy with Laura for 2 years and 7 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, and self esteem

This is the best therapeutic relationship I've ever had. With Laura, I like her approach, respect her expertise, and trust that she is there to help me (personally, specifically), in a way I've never experienced with another therapist. If you are looking to dig into the uncomfortable/painful/shameful stuff and need an astute guide, I highly recommend Laura.

Laura was an awesome therapist! She set goals, did not sugar coat things, and called me out when necessary. She helped me to look at things from many perspectives, and offered ways to go about dealing with my concerns.
