Laura is extremely calm and easy going. This makes her very easy to talk to.

Laura is amazing. I have had 2 therapist before and she really takes the time to listen to what I’m saying and helps me see where I can fix a problem or how to over come the emotion I’m feeling. She sends me amazing examples and has given me more ways to deal with stress and feeling sad then I’ve ever been given before. She sends me awesome reading material that I actually want to read because she has taken the time to highlight why I should read it, not just handing me something and saying go read this. I feel like she is actually listening to my feelings and lets me express my feelings and always has a way of helping me find the words when I can’t. She doesn’t judge and and shows so much empathy, you can tell she really cares. She celebrates my highs as if we’ve known each other a long time and is a comforting voice in the lows.
