Hola! Me llamo Laura! I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are, sin pena y sin juicio. As a first gen Latina, I understand the balance of honoring your roots while creating the life you want for yourself. Whether we explore culture, family dynamics, or simply focus on the today, we'll work together to help you feel more connected, confident and empowered. Healing isn't about having it all figured out, poco a poco, we can get there.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we'll simply get to know each other and talk about what brings you here. You set the pace, and there are no right or wrong answers! This is you safe space to begin your journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe therapy isn't about "fixing" you. You aren't broken. It's about helping you better understand yourself, develop self-compassion, and build the tools to navigate life with greater confidence and resilience.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My practice is a great fit for adults who are ready to do the work, not because they have to have it all together, but because they are open to getting curious about themselves, trying new perspectives, and creating meaningful change. Additionally, my practice is designed for adults seeking outpatient therapy who are emotionally and psychologically stable enough to engage in weekly therapeutic work. I currently best serve clients who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, people-pleasing or experiencing a major life transition.

My treatment methods

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach that helps clients change by focusing on the solutions rather than the problems! As a therapist that uses this approach, I hope to bring a friendly, positive, future-oriented energy to help you formulate, motivate and achieve your goals. You are the expert of your own life, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach practical skills for managing emotions, reducing stress, and improving relationships. Together, we focus on building tools like mindfulness, healthy coping strategies and effective communication so you can feel more balanced and confident in daily life.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients better understand the different parts of themselves such as the parts that carry pain, protect them, or strive for control. Together, we gently explore these parts with curiosity and compassion, so you can feel more connected to your inner self, heal past wounds and move toward greater balance and self-acceptance.

Trauma Informed Care

I take a trauma informed approach, which means I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel respected and empowered. I recognize how past experiences can affect current struggles and work with you at your own pace, always prioritizing safety, trust and choice in the healing process.

I just had my first session with Laura and I haven't felt this comfortable talking to someone before. I am glad I made this choice to start therapy and that I found her.
