"Hi, I’m Laura. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Life Coach and Parenting Coach with over ten years of experience in helping people heal and grow. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples develop deeper, more authentic connections, create more meaning and joy, and live their highest and best lives." "As your individual therapist or coach, I can help you navigate difficult transitions and to grow from those experiences. If you’re looking to heal and rebuild after a traumatic breakup or divorce, I can help you put the pieces back together. If you are feeling anxious, depressed, or just plain stuck in life, I can help you regain some positive movement. If you are struggling with low self-esteem or low confidence, I can help you to clearly identify and develop your strengths. Our work will re-energize your life, and help you embody your happiest, most authentic self." "As your couples counselor, I will help you and your partner communicate better, repair trust, explore your deepest needs and desires, rekindle passion, and strengthen your connection. I use evidence-based practices such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Techniques to repair your relationship, and build on your strengths. As a family therapist and parenting coach I can also help you get on the same page around parenting, blending families, and raising happy, healthy kids together. I am LGBTQIA-affirming, and celebrate all types of relationships. Our work together will help you create the honest, open, and joyful relationship you desire, in your marriage and in your family." I have expertise and passion for helping men and women with relationship struggles, mid-life crises, and tough everyday life problems such as chronic stress, overwhelm, burnout, low self-esteem and confidence, anger and resentment, feeling lost, not knowing your life or soul’s purpose, grief, difficulty making decisions, feeling disorganized and fighting with anxiety and depression - just to name a few. I also work a lot with common relationship problems, whether you are married or in a long-term committed relationship, such as chronic conflict and issues that stem from criticism, contempt, defensiveness and stonewalling. I can also help you to enhance your current relationship by helping you feel a deeper emotional connection, experience greater intimacy and have easier more effective communication. Additionally I can help you overcome infidelity, increase the sense of trust and security in your partnership, and improve your sexual relationship with each other. If you are single and wanting to find a life partner, I can help you sort through all the ins and outs of dating online and offline and if you are going through a breakup or a divorce I can help you survive it, so you can get back on your feet and thrive! I am here to guide you, challenge you and believe in you when you don’t believe in yourself. I will give you the support and tools you need to develop the necessary mindset and skill set to thrive in life and in love.
