About
Hi there, I'm Laura! I’m really glad you’re here. Therapy is such a powerful and rewarding experience, and I’m excited for you to feel safe, understood, and confident being yourself. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to grow, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Whether it be reducing anxiety, coping with setbacks, or improving communication, your goals will be unique to you.
If you have ever struggled with wanting to understand yourself more deeply through a lens of self-compassion, I am here to help. I specialize in addiction and recovery, dual-diagnosis, personality disorders, anxiety and panic attacks, depression and suicidal ideation, and self-harm. We will work together with acceptance and action to achieve peace.
First session
Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and cover the basics. I’ll ask about what brings you to therapy and what you’d like to focus on. We can begin to establish goals, discuss session frequency, and talk about any preferences you have. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, so we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Strengths
I utilize an array of evidence-based therapeutic interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I believe in a person-centered, autonomous style in your therapy journey, but I also help bring balance with directiveness when you want collaborative feedback.
Ideal clients
My ideal therapy client is someone struggling with addiction, anxiety, panic, or emotional dysregulation who genuinely wants to improve their life and is willing to actively engage in the therapeutic process. I work best with clients who are open-minded, receptive to feedback and suggestions, interested in accountability and 12-step principles when appropriate, and willing to complete homework and practice skills outside of session. I value clients who are motivated to work hard, build healthier coping strategies, and commit to meaningful personal growth and recovery.
Treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy interventions in my practice to help clients build emotional awareness, distress tolerance, and balanced thinking patterns. I often explore the concept that two feelings can exist at the same time, helping clients recognize that they can experience discomfort while also making progress, or feel hurt while still valuing a relationship.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions in my practice to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and maladaptive behaviors. I work collaboratively with clients to increase awareness of the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while developing healthier coping strategies and more balanced ways of thinking.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I utilize mindfulness-based therapy interventions in my practice to help clients increase present-moment awareness and develop a more compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship with their thoughts and emotions. I encourage clients to slow down, observe their internal experiences without immediately reacting, and build grounding skills to better manage stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Above all, I utilize Rogerian therapy, which is a person-centered approach that creates a supportive, nonjudgmental environment rooted in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. I encourage clients to explore their thoughts and emotions openly while fostering self-awareness, personal growth, and confidence in their own ability to create meaningful change.
Trauma Informed Care
I utilize trauma-informed care in my practice by recognizing that trauma can be broad and may include adverse experiences such as abuse, neglect, grief, relationship instability, medical issues, discrimination, substance use, or chronic stress. I strive to create a safe, collaborative, and empowering therapeutic environment that emphasizes trust, emotional safety, and resilience while avoiding re-traumatization.
