Hi I'm Laura! I received my master's degree from Rutgers University of New Jersey. I've worked in many different settings over the last 15 years. I'm passionate about the work I do. I can't wait to partner with you to assist you in your journey and to help you see how much change and growth can truly happen when we are ready and willing!
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Judgement free zone! I will walk with you and help you to identify the root cause of your challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I love working with individuals that are open minded, willing and ready to create significant and meaningful changes in order to create the life you want!
