About me

Sometimes, life can be a bit daunting. Between big life decisions, tragedies, and even days when nothing seems to go right, it's easy to get down, anxious, and feel overwhelmed. I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, life's transitions, or need a space of their own to share openly free from bias or judgement. Life can be a struggle, why go at it alone? I can help you reach your goals and be a support along the way.

Get to know me

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

Your first therapy session is a chance for us to get to know one another. We can explore your reasons for seeking out therapy, what you are looking gain from therapy and how you would like to go about reaching your goals. It is also a great opportunity for you to see if we have a good vibe and if you feel comfortable talking together -as much as you can sharing your emotions with a complete stranger!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe my biggest strength is my empathy. I have additional trainings and certification is trauma, grief and anxiety. At the end of the day, having the certifications is not enough, you need another person to talk with, not a teacher.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I appreciate working with clients who are willing to be open and honest with themselves and are able to bring their authentic selves to sessions. Being in therapy requires a level of vulnerability, whether you are exploring your past, gaining insight into your present and setting goals for your future

my role is to walk alongside you as you explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. You possess an innate capacity for growth, healing, and self-understanding.

I found working with Laura Bloomberg wonderful. She is all the words your site mentions above and we were a good match. I would recommend her to anyone, male, female or any gender identity, who decides to seek therapy/counseling. Today was my last session because I've learned so much and made such progress, but Ms. Bloomberg will keep me in her portal so that I can return whenever I need or want to.
