About Laura
Her approach centers on listening first and then building practical skills together. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and create a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behavior. Mindfulness strategies and Solution-Focused techniques help people practice breathing, notice thoughts, and set small, doable goals.
Laura draws on a mix of approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear steps, like learning coping skills for anxiety or breaking down a parenting challenge into manageable actions. She emphasizes simple tools that can be used between meetings to make daily life easier.
With experience in schools, telehealth, and outpatient settings, Laura works with adults and adolescents. She aims to help people build emotional awareness and reach goals they care about. To start, readers are encouraged to use the site’s matching process and schedule a first visit.
