You’ve survived a lot — and you’re ready for more than talk therapy. My work is for people who want real change, practical tools, and trauma-focused treatment that actually moves things forward.
I specialize in complex trauma, long-term patterns of abuse, chronic stress responses, and the ways these experiences shape identity, relationships, sexuality, and the nervous system. Many of my clients come to me feeling “high-functioning” on the outside but overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they can’t shift alone.
My approach is active, collaborative, and grounded in real therapeutic change. I offer evidence-based trauma therapy including:
• EMDR for deep reprocessing and reducing triggers
• Ketamine-assisted and psychedelic-informed therapy (in collaboration with licensed prescribers)
• Somatic and parts-based work to reconnect you with your body, emotions, and inner resources
• Trauma-focused, direct talk therapy with clear goals and ongoing feedback
Hi, I’m Laura (she/her).
My path into this work wasn’t linear—I actually started in mathematics before spending years exploring, stumbling, and ultimately finding my way to counseling in my mid-thirties. I’ve now been a therapist for more than a decade, and I still feel grateful every day to do work that continues to challenge and grow me.
I began my career in community mental health, where I spent nearly ten years supporting people navigating trauma, systemic oppression, addiction, homelessness, and the criminal-justice system. Those years shaped my understanding of resilience and taught me to meet people with deep respect and cultural humility. I facilitated both mental-health and substance-use IOPs, eventually shifting to virtual care during the pandemic.
Today, my work blends trauma therapy, psychedelic-assisted approaches, EMDR, and sex therapy—I’m currently completing AASECT certification as well. I love integrating evidence-based techniques with curiosity, compassion, and a belief in each person’s innate capacity to heal.
Most of all, I’m a lifelong learner and feel honored to walk with clients as they reclaim parts of themselves, rewrite old narratives, and reconnect with meaning.
