Laura helped me reshape my perspective when I was at an all time low. She would break negative thought patterns and have me focus on what I can control, and with that I was able to see the power and ability I have in changing my own life. I can’t thank Laura enough!

I have been working with Laura for a few months now. During my first session I knew right away that she was the right fit - I felt that she 'got' me, and that I was incredibly comfortable and at ease discussing things with her. I like how she challenges me to see the other side...and to really dig deep with my emotions. I am glad I was paired with Laura and I appreciate all of her feedback and insights. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I have never felt more comfortable talking to someone. She understands and listened to me and my challenges and gives me the tools to use to better myself, and those around me. If I gave Laura a theme song to life it would best be "Don't worry be Happy!" THANK YOU LAURA!!!
