Laura has been such a pleasure! This was my first experience with any type of therapy so I was nervous but it felt like Laura immediately understood my needs and what I was looking to work on. I could not be more happy with my experience.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Certified Play Therapist. I have also been a school counselor for almost a decade while offering individual and family therapy in a private practice setting. I am passionate about helping children, teens, young adults, and families reach peak life satisfaction. I partner with those facing bumps along their journey to explore solutions to life's challenges. Please reach out to get to know me further!
People are the center of my approach to counseling. The therapeutic relationship is my first priority. I believe each person is capable of self-direction and growth, so I rely on the client to lead the counseling process. During therapy, I pull from Cognitive Behavioral strategies, Strength-Based Counseling, and Gestalt psychology.
If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or just want to grow in 2024, I'm here to help! Reach out today!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
