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.
