About me

I started my career working with a population having developmental and mental challenges. I decided after a lot of praying that I wanted to get my master's degree and be a counselor for that population. God had other plans for me. God directed me to work with a population that was in need. That population is in corrections. I have had the opportunity to work with those who self-harm, are depressed and or anxious, have low self-esteem, have personality disorders, have psychotic disorders, challenging irrational beliefs and mood disorders. I also have had the opportunity to work in a state hospital with those with the same struggles.I believe that God is moving me into another direction at this time and as many know, with change comes anxiety due to the unknown so most of us deal with some type of anxiety and depression during our lifetime.
I have been told by those I know and those I have just met that I am a good listener and empathetic. I care about people and want them to feel free to be open and know that there will be no judgement. I am not here to judge anyone but instead have an open mind and work with you to see you overcome the struggles that life brings. I believe in treating others with respect, dignity and compassion.
I use cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, client-centered, and motivational interviewing. I believe that each person is unique and what works for one person may not work for another so all treatment is based on the individual.

Even though I had Laura for a short time period. She understood my needs, she was an amazing listener and she always knew how to make me feel much better about myself. She’s funny and she has a great personality.

Laura is such an amazing person. I got over 2 of my mental health issues in less than 1.5 months! She helps you ask the right questions and provides good resources.

Laura is kind. She hears you and passes no judgement. Her belief in God is something I align with, which was really important to me when being matched with a therapist. She is quick to respond and provides worksheets and other helpful information. She gives you credit on the little wins while encouraging the big. It’s only been a few sessions but I’m so thankful I got a good one on my first try!
