More about Laura
- 5 years' experience

- LMFT
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With experience across a broad spectrum of concerns, I work with clients navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and questions of identity and purpose.
My approach is grounded in compassion and collaboration. I believe in meeting you where you are and honoring your unique story, values, and beliefs. I'm particularly attuned to the experiences of women, older adults, and those with Christian faith perspectives, and I work to create a space where your background feels respected and understood.
I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you build resilience, process difficult experiences, and move toward greater self-compassion and clarity. Whether you're working through trauma, managing anxiety or mood challenges, navigating relationship concerns, or exploring deeper questions about meaning and purpose, I'm here to support your journey with genuine care and commitment.
Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing and growth.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
