I had my first session with Laura last night. Although I felt nervous before the call, she quickly put me at ease, making it easy for me to open up. I really appreciated how she listened and responded thoughtfully to what I shared. I’m looking forward to my next session.

I have been working with Laura for awhile. She is very sensitive and has been timely in her interventions and the approach to my therapy journey. She listens well, and creates an opportunity for self reflection, and exploration of my own thoughts. There is openness to my needs and pain and she helps to guide me to a place of healing and growth.
She is a great therapist
