Hello! I’m Laura

Licensed Therapist

Hello! Thank you for taking an interest to learn more about my practice. 

One of the most important things I feel a person can do for themselves is to seek therapy, not only in times of crisis but during times that are calm.  I have found that those calm times can be the best times to learn about ourselves. 

However, if you are struggling with something right now, or know a family member who is struggling … you have taken the hardest step so far!  You have begun a search for support. The next step is reaching out!

Parenting Support

Sometimes as parents we question how to best help our child or teenager. Talking it out, and coming up with a plan can help ease some of those concerns…. and is a good place to start.

Book Appointment

I’m currently providing telehealth sessions.  If you prefer in-session sessions please let me know. 

1st Session!

It’s completely normal to feel some apprehension for the first session. However, I truly believe it’s important to feel comfortable and build that trust to work through and have support along your journey. 

My Approach

Therapy should be a comfortable and safe place where you can be yourself and share things in a trusting environment.  Whether during times of struggles or to help guide you on life’s journey. 

I’d love to set up a session with you, or your family member to see if we would be a good fit for each other! 

Sessions can be held in person, in an office setting, or with today’s challenging times, Telehealth is offered. 

Please feel free to reach out at your convenience, either by phone, or text.  We’ll set something up… that is suited for your schedule. 

"I am so glad my daughter has finally found someone she can talk to. It’s been a tough road, but thankfully Laura has been able to make such a great connection with her. So much so, I have referred her to family and friends."

Patient

“Thank Goodness Laura came into my life at this point in time. I cried on the way home... good tears”

Patient

“She really listened to us and our concerns. We’ve actually learned some tools we are going to try to put into action”
