Hi, I'm Laurie, and I WANT to hear what you have to say! Does anyone ever tell you that? Being heard and understood is an essential part of therapy.

Having worked as a therapist for almost 20 years now, I consistently receive feedback that I have a warm, calming presence.

Therapy doesn’t have to be sitting on a couch while someone asks, “And how does that make you feel?” every five minutes. Life is complicated. Sometimes you’re anxious, overwhelmed, pissed off, exhausted, stuck in your head, dealing with trauma, struggling in a relationship, or just wondering how everyone else seems to have their shit together when you definitely do not. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can actually be yourself. No judgment. No pretending everything is fine. No having to make your problems sound “bad enough” to deserve help. You can show up as you are.

"Why do I keep choosing relationships like this?” “Why do I feel this way?” “Who am I underneath all of this?” “How did I become this person?” **“Why do I keep ending up here?”** If these are the kinds of questions you find yourself asking, we’ll probably have a lot to talk about. My approach to therapy is insight-oriented, relational, and deeply curious. I’m interested in more than helping you feel better in the moment. I want to help you understand why you feel the way you do, where your patterns came from, and why certain relationships, roles, fears, or beliefs keep following you. In therapy, we’ll absolutely talk about what’s happening in your life right now: the relationship that's on fire, the resentment you feel guilty for having, the anxiety that won’t stop, the people you keep trying to please, the decisions that aren’t working for you, or the version of yourself you’re exhausted from maintaining. But we’ll also get curious about what’s underneath it. We might notice the role you learned to play in your family, the kinds of people you feel responsible for, what happens when someone is disappointed in you, why conflict feels so threatening, why you struggle to ask for what you need, or why a relationship can feel impossible to let go of even when you know it isn’t good for you.
