Hi, I'm Laura (she/her)! 

About Me

Therapy for depth, and not just skill building:
If you’re someone who wants more than quick coping skills and is:

• curious about your inner experience & world

• your patterns in relationships

• the deeper roots of why you feel and react the way you do

You’re in the right place. 

You know your life, your patterns, the stuck places, and moments of ease better than anyone. My role is to be a thoughtful partner in exploring and making sense of these things to help you find more clarity and movement. 

What it’s like to work with me:

I have experiences on both sides of the therapy chair, as the clinician and the client, and I’m mindful of how critical the relationship itself is to the work. 

I try to create a space that feels open, collaborative, and grounded. A space that is welcoming, trusting, honest, and where complexity is welcome. 

Who I often work with:

Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-achieving adults and couples (usually 30+) who are successful on the outside, but feel disconnected, stuck, or stagnant on the inside. 

They may notice repeating patterns in their lives and/or relationships, struggling with communication or intimacy, or have a complicated relationship with their body or emotions. Often past experiences, especially relational or traumatic ones, are still shaping the present in ways that can feel so difficult to untangle on your own. 

My clients are not just looking for tools. They want to understand why. They want to untangle the way the past is impacting the present and not simply cope through it. They want to experience change that feels real and lasting.

My training and background:

I am a Certified Trauma Professional with advanced training in complex trauma. I have six years of clinical experience and a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University, where I specialized in advanced clinical practice in health, mental health, and disabilities. 

My training includes work in hospital, nonprofit, outpatient, and intensive outpatient settings, as well as private practice. These experiences shape how I think about trauma, attachment, and how stress and loss live in both the mind and body. 

How we work together: 

We’ll look at how past experiences show up in your current emotions, beliefs, and relationships. Insight is an important start, but we don’t stop there. The goal is emotional processing and integration, so change feels lived and embodied, not just applied or understood.

My approach is trauma-informed and integrative. I draw from:

• Internal Family Systems / Parts Work

• Attachment-based therapy

• Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples

• Imago Therapy

• Somatic approaches

• CBT and DBT

• Mindfulness and self-compassion

• Health at Every Size (HAES)

I see therapy as collaborative work that honors both your resilience and the parts of you that still need care.
 

A little bit about me as a person: 

I am a proud therapy nerd! I love learning and staying current with evolving approaches. Outside of work, you might find me reading a mystery novel, playing piano, cooking, singing, walking, or spending time with the people that I love. 

Next Steps: 

Therapy with me is a space where your voice matters, your feedback is welcome, and your inner experience is met with curiosity and care.
