Clients say this provider is
Hello! I have over 25 years of experience counseling survivors of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking, as well as people dealing with PTSD, depression, chronic illness, and anxiety. I'm down to earth, practical, and non-judgmental. I love working with teens, young adults, adults, and folks in the LGBTQ community. I have a lot of experience working with people from all racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. I practice cultural humility and harm reduction and seek to support you to make whatever changes you are ready for. I've had my own personal challenges in life, including mental health struggles and living with chronic illnesses. I am also a parent to two teenage daughters. I look forward to getting to know you!
I will do my best to make you feel comfortable, while finding out more about your background, current challenges, and goals for therapy. I will tell you a bit about myself and see if you have any questions about the therapeutic process. I will seek to have you leave the session feeling like you have new tools to help yourself with your goals.
I'm very down to earth, practical, straightforward, and open-minded to people from all backgrounds. I can help you find clarity on your goals, and assist you to take action steps toward change.
I have a lot of experience working with survivors of all types, and seek to support folks to process trauma and move toward greater safety, stability, and empowerment.

Laurel is the first therapist I have worked with that truly understands the AuADHD struggles to even just exsist in a NT environment and im grateful for her support and insight.

Laurel has been a rock of support through very challenging times. She gives me feedback in a way that I can understand and apply to every day situations. She understands PTSD more than any other therapist or Doctor I've worked with.
