Every client is unique and my approach varies depending on the needs of that individual. I believe that the most important factor of successful treatment is not theory or technique, but the quality of the relationship between client and therapist. I believe in focusing on “what works” to help my clients make progress and move toward a healthy and happy life. I am trained in several types of therapeutic interventions and find that using a mixture of these interventions work extremely well. I invite you to contact me if you find yourself in a place of needing guidance or support in overcoming obstacles that are holding you back from where you want to be in your life. My style is compassionate and authentic. I play an active role in therapy and believe in gently challenging clients in both thoughts and behaviors. I will provide a safe environment and a non-judgmental ear for you to explore your life and its infinite possibilities. I specialize in helping people who have been victims of trauma (sexual, emotional or physical abuse; assault; harassment, as well as traumatic injuries, illnesses or accidents) whether as a child or in adulthood. I have also assisted individuals with difficulties related, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, relationship, self-esteem, and parenting issues. Choosing a therapist can be challenging. Feel free to contact me with any questions. If we are not a good fit, I’d be happy to refer you to someone who may be better suited for you. I look forward to potentially working together.

This practice focuses on working with adolescents, young adults and adults struggling with a variety of concerns, including: depression, anxiety, mood disorders, emotional dysregulation, suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviors, impulsivity, academic difficulties, anger management, relationship issues and family issues. The therapeutic process begins with an initial assessment, where we will discuss your (or your child's) background and history. You will work with Laura to decipher the next best step in your treatment. Following the assessment, you will begin to work with Laura on your personal exploration. The treatment process is goal-oriented and also allows for the individual to direct his or her treatment. You will identify your strengths and build upon those strengths. Laura utilizes talk therapy, art therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to provide for a set of coping skills to aid in managing personal stressors. In taking a holistic approach to treatment, Laura believes it is essential to involve a client’s family and school or work, if appropriate, as these areas often impact our lives. Family sessions can be conducted as needed, as well as collaboration with the client’s school or work. In addition, parent sessions are available separate from the client’s therapy.
