Hi I'm Laura

Hi there! I offer trauma-informed therapy and EMDR for people who feel deeply, think deeply, and are ready to get to the root of what’s holding them back. I work with high-functioning individuals navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, or emotional overwhelm—whether it shows up in relationships, work, or your sense of self. If you’re feeling stuck, easily triggered, or weighed down by emotions like anger, grief, or shame, you're not alone. I believe lasting change happens in the context of a safe, supportive relationship. No matter your attachment style or history, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move toward the change you want. I use EMDR to help process and resolve past trauma, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to address present-day emotional struggles. My goal is to offer a corrective emotional experience—one that reconnects you to your most authentic self, so you can heal and live with more freedom and ease.

“Working with Laura has been life-changing. She helped me make sense of things I’d carried for years and guided me through deep healing with so much care and patience. EMDR with her felt safe and powerful—I’ve come out the other side feeling lighter, more grounded, and more like myself than I have in a long time.”
