Welcome!

I’m Laura, a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience helping women navigate life’s transitions with confidence and compassion. I specialize in supporting middle-aged women who may be facing grief, changes in family relationships, empty nest adjustments, or a desire for deeper self-understanding. As both a mother and a therapist, I understand how layered and complex this stage of life can be, and I bring both professional expertise and personal empathy to the work I do. Through approaches like EMDR, grief counseling, and Internal Family Systems therapy, I create a safe and welcoming space where you can heal, grow, and rediscover your strengths. My goal is to empower you to move forward with clarity, balance, and renewed purpose. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, connected, and hopeful, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

 Therapeutic Approaches

  • Grief counseling provides a safe and supportive space to process the pain of loss. Together, we’ll honor your unique journey through grief, find healthy ways to cope, and gently move toward healing, hope, and renewed meaning in life.

  • EMDR helps you heal from trauma, anxiety, grief, and other painful experiences by gently reprocessing difficult memories so they no longer feel overwhelming. It’s an evidence-based approach that can bring lasting relief and help you feel calmer, stronger, and more at peace.

  • Relationships with adult children can be both rewarding and challenging. Counseling can help you set healthy boundaries, improve communication, and find new ways of staying connected while honoring this new stage of family life.

  • IFS is a gentle, empowering approach that helps you better understand the different “parts” of yourself. By learning to listen to and care for these parts, you can heal past wounds, reduce inner conflict, and feel more whole, balanced, and at peace.

  • Menopause can bring physical, emotional, and relational changes that feel overwhelming. Counseling offers guidance, validation, and tools to help you navigate this transition with greater ease, balance, and confidence in yourself.
