I am a professional counselor licensed in Kentucky with 7 years of clinical experience. I obtained a Bachelor of Science in psychology from Eastern Kentucky University in 2014. I worked in numerous school settings providing therapy to children for the next year and a half. In 2016, I began working for a local hospital and provided ABA therapy to children diagnosed with ASD. Upon receiving my Master of Arts degree in clinical mental health counseling from University of the Cumberlands, I began working with adults as an outpatient therapist for a local community mental health agency. I continued my work there until I opened my practice in 2021. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, trauma/abuse, and adjustment concerns. I also have experience in treating autism spectrum disorder. Ideally, I work best with individuals--both men and women--struggling with self-esteem, self-care, life stress, depression, and/or anxiety. I currently work with individuals aged 11-65. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach is eclectic and combines cognitive-behavioral and existential techniques. I also incorporate nutrition into my practice. I am a certified integrative mental health practitioner. I believe treating the individual as a whole-- physical and mental-- yields the best results. I will tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Sometimes in life we need an unbiased, third-party person to weigh in on our experiences. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you to be the best you can be. I look forward to working with you!

Could not be more thankful to have found Laura and gone on this journey with her help! She always listens and was patient along the whole process.

Laura is very understanding, kind and you can really tell she knows what she’s talking about! It feels like she always knows what to say and when to say.
I don’t ever feel like she judges me for anything I may threw her way.
I have never doubted her expertise in whatever we may talk about and I very quickly trusted her with what I needed to so I could get the most out of this experience. I definitely recommend her!

She is so nice, understanding, and checks in when I don’t respond for a short period of time. I’ve already recommended her to a few people

Better help paired me with Laura right from go and I have to say they provided me with one of the most supportive and positive person there is. Laura is always prompt with her responses and even refers to things barely touched on from weeks prior. She is thoughtful and kind and provides extra resources on things she thinks I may find helpful.
