About me

Hello!
I am a licensed professional counselor, now licensed in Maine!, but stationed in Connecticut. My license extends to states and locations with reciprocity agreements, and I work with people around the world.

I specialize in a whole-person approach and highly personalized sessions that build trust and create goals that are within your reach. We consider body, mind and spiritual matters from all angles. I use a dual approach: strategies to use right away (“solutions focused”) to alleviate symptoms, and strategies to work on for long-term healing. Some theories or strategies of counseling I may use include: psychotherapy, Adlerian, person-centered, motivational interviewing, evidence based behavioral therapy and cognitive therapy.

I am easy to talk to, offer a judge-free, unconditional positive regard for your struggles and where you are in your journey.

Are you looking to find peace and joy? Even the most difficult situations have options. I'm here to help guide you in a positive direction.

Professional Degrees:
Master of Clinical Mental Health Counseling 2016; Master of English and Master of Business 2003 and 1989; Undergraduate Programs and Degrees: The University of Connecticut, Babson College, Boston Museum School of Fine Art, Columbia University’s RW Workshop Program.

Other training:
Certified Assistive Technology Professional. Teacher/coach to high school staff and students, Corporate and retail training and leadership, equine management and training, fine art training, and choral & instrumental training -- all of which help enrich my abilities as a counselor in our active awareness sessions.

I look forward to meeting you soon!

Laura
