About Laura

Background and approach

With 17 years of professional experience, she draws on a range of methods to support clients confronting relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, career concerns, parenting questions, compassion fatigue, eating and body image concerns, bipolar challenges, and ADHD-related struggles. Her work is collaborative and tailored to each person’s priorities.

She creates a welcoming space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and develop practical skills for emotion regulation, communication, and problem solving. Laura also incorporates coaching elements to boost motivation and confidence while addressing specific goals like repairing trust in partnerships or managing midlife and financial stressors.

Clients coming to Laura can expect a pragmatic, person-focused approach that blends evidence-based therapies with attention to values and real-world change. She aims to empower people to take the steps they choose toward a more satisfying and balanced life.

Therapeutic approaches and what to expect online



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts while taking actions that align with what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve coping in everyday situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for people struggling with intense emotions or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts techniques from these approaches over time and invites feedback so the plan evolves with progress and changing priorities.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try shorter or ongoing check-ins, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to individual goals.
