  • “She is the kind of person who will always want the absolute best for you, your family, and simply everyone she meets. She will meet you where you are at, but then advocate and empower you to rise up and embrace a fuller and more whole version of yourself; while being beside you every step of the way. Her cheerful demeanor and sweet smile are an added bonus and I’m sure you’ll enjoy seeing where life can take you while working with her. You could not ask for a better counselor than Laura!”

  • “Before working with Laura, I was battling anxiety and addiction, feeling stuck in a cycle I couldn’t break. Through her guidance and somatic therapy approach, I learned how to manage my emotions in a healthier way. Laura provided me with practical coping skills that really made a difference. If you’re ready to make a genuine change and improve your life, I highly recommend her. She’s got the expertise, and if you’re open to it, she’ll help you get to where you want to be.”

  • “One of the things that I was afraid of was that Laura would try to have me leave her by a year or so but thankfully she reassured me that was not going to happen. She was very supportive and she was right, I left when I was ready and felt prepared to take on life on my own. Laura provided me with so many exercises that I use on a daily basis. My last experience with a therapist, I left and did not have a lot of support or ideas to use to help. I am so glad I found Laura and let her help me with my anxiety and the physical and emotional trauma I experienced as a child. I feel so much better and happier and full of great ideas to help me manage my stress and regulate my emotions.”

  • “Laura has been a trusted individual in my life who I can go to when I am struggling emotionally. She has helped me see trends/cycles that do not serve me (and my family), and has helped me to learn how to easily get through these difficult times. I am constantly learning and growing with her help! If you don’t know if therapy will help you or are nervous to go in to speak to someone about your problems, Laura is someone who you can trust, and she truly cares about the people she works with.”

  • “I have seen a big difference in how I approach things in my day-to-day life, how I am towards myself, and she has helped me be a better mom to all my children. As an adult I do not feel that sitting on a couch and just talking about my feelings helps me personally. However, talking with Laura about certain topics for a short time and then pairing it with the breath work has helped a lot. It has helped me release a lot of emotions built up from my childhood and helps me cope with the things I go through today. After each session I feel like my mind is clear and more free and I’m able to move forward with what is important and not focus on what is no longer serving me.”

I’m laid-back, pretty chill, and like to keep things real.

I’ve been doing play therapy and somatic work for over five years and have advanced training in breathwork and EMDR.

I’m always learning new stuff because I want to make sure we’re using the best tools to get you where you need to go.

Clients say they feel safe with me—like they can just be themselves without worrying about being judged.

I’m down-to-earth and relatable, whether we’re diving deep into hard topics or just talking about how to get through the week.

My goal is to make sure you feel seen and heard, and that you know I’m in this with you.
