About

Hello, I am Laura. I was put on this earth to help people. I believe I have a talent for seeing you as you are even when you can’t see the person you are meant to be! Life is hard for everyone and life is meant to be lived with joy, authenticity and being connected to others who see you. Sometimes there is a disconnect between these two concepts.

Education & Licensure
I began my career as an elementary school teacher, knowing since I was 12 that I wanted to be a therapist! I received my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University! I have been a therapist since 1996 and licensed for almost 20 years. I have a very diverse background of experience and training with all types, ages, genres, diagnosis’s, races, ethnicities, cultures, family backgrounds, etc. I enjoy working with children, adults, adolescents, geriatric population, couples, substance use dependence and other addictive behaviors, military, first responders, post partum moms, and so much more. I believe all humans need two things. Connectivity and authenticity! When we have those, we are joyful and liberated! Let my help you find your why and love who you are!!!
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I truly love working with all types of clients. I believe we are all enough! Even if the things we have been labeled with make us feel we are not enough! Even when we have experienced rejection, pain, fear. or trauma. Even if we struggle with our moods, anxiety, obsessions, addictive behaviors, etc. My goal is to guide you to see your worth, build on your strengths, help heal wounds, help you understand your patterns and reprogram your negative self perceptions so you can learn to be your fully authentic self unapologetically and without fear of rejection.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I will meet you where you are! I will challenge your maladaptive behaviors and negative self perceptions. I will push you to be authentic, challenge you to be introspective, unpack and rewrite your survival strategies, resolve your fears, and more. We will do this together in a safe, supportive, genuinely compassionate environment! I am trained in many types and modalities of therapy We will work together eclectically to challenge and heal you with different strategies that work for you!
