Hi there, and welcome! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based just outside of Portland, Oregon, and I’m licensed to work with clients in Oregon, Washington, and California. I’ve been practicing for over 18 years and also work full time as a manager in a large healthcare organization, where I support teams and programs focused on helping people grow and thrive. As a therapist, I love helping people get clear on what matters most to them- what they want life to look and feel like, and then walking alongside them as they take steps toward those goals. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership, where we’re exploring together what helps you feel more grounded, capable, and connected. A quick note: My practice focuses on working with individuals. While I don’t specialize in couples counseling, there may be times when it’s helpful to invite a partner or loved one into a session as part of your individual work, we’ll talk through that together if it feels right. If you’re looking for therapy for you and your partner together, I encourage finding a therapist who specializes in couples work to ensure you get the most out of that experience.

Hello there—I’m Laura. You might be finding yourself in that place where even simple things feel heavy. Maybe your anxiety has made it hard to focus, or depression has taken the motivation out of your mornings. If so, you’re not alone—and I’d love to connect with you. I earned my MSW from The Ohio State University in 2016, and I’ve spent the years since working with adults facing severe mental illness and addiction, adolescents and adults dealing with acute trauma, and folks managing anxiety or depression. What’s kept me grounded in this work is the opportunity to build relationships and support lasting change. My approach? Warm, collaborative, and grounded in your reality. I'm here to listen—without judgment—and work together to build strategies that bring relief, hope, and progress. If this feels like a place you'd like to explore, please feel free to reach out. I’m happy to talk through what support could look like for you.
