About

Hi, I’m Laura. Welcome! I bring warmth, knowledge, and humor to the therapy room. I love working with autistic teens & adults, artists/creatives, and the LGBTQIA+ community. We are all complex beings and a dynamic approach is needed to honor that. I care to understand you and show up as a steady base as we work together toward your goals, collaborating with your system rather than trying to force it to be different. Who and how you are is welcome here.

I use a blend of experiential and practical tools to address concerns like depression, anxiety, and trauma. I help couples reconnect and find the same page. Overall, my approach is grounded in an understanding of the nervous system, and I use modalities like IFS, expressive arts, acceptance and mindfulness, and somatic work.

Email is the quickest way to get in touch and most of the time I'm able to respond within 24 hours (on weekdays). If you've considered reaching out to a therapist and haven't yet, I welcome both your reservations and your curiosity.
