Hi there, I'm Lauramarie. Do you find getting up and going about your day-to-day routines becoming a challenge? Are you having trouble trying to figure out who you are and how to navigate relationships with others in a healthy way? Does anxiety, stress, or frustration interfere with sleep or getting tasks accomplished? I work with adult clients to build a strong sense of self, create healthy relationships and boundaries, and work on relaxation and coping skills to decrease the impacts of symptoms of anxiety, stress, mild/moderate depression, and adjusting to transitions in life. Together we can create a person-centered set of goals to address what is not working and begin finding peace and healing. I love integrating aspects of mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and communication skills to empower you to become your best self. Whether you're dealing with changes in life, conflicts within different relationships, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow, and you will be met with compassion, validation, and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the difficulties and habits holding you back. Let's work together! Who would not be a good fit for my practice? I've found that individuals who aren't willing to apply what is discussed and learned in session between sessions will struggle to make meaningful progress. Clients that experience complex traumas, are at a higher risk with significant depression or suicidal ideation, or children under 18 would not be a good fit at this time as well.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with introductions and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. We will discuss the history of these challenges, and identify strengths and your support system. This will all help us collaboratively create a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I enjoy working with adults who struggle with transitions or adjustments in life, mood-specific impacts such as anxiety or dealing with stressors, and those who are in need of building a strong sense of self and communication/boundaries within different types of relationships.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have been predominantly CBT trained my whole career with a focus on understanding the connections between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and catching our "thinking traps" to be able to reframe thought patterns and look at them from alternative points of view.

Eclectic

Beyond CBT I apply an eclectic method of treatment that is tailored to each individual client's needs, spanning from aspects of Mindfulness, Supportive Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and much more.
