I believe the foundation to wellness involves assisting one to learn, identify, and understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while providing skills to respond to and manage ones thoughts, emotions and behaviors effectively resulting in improved mental fitness, mind and body. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My expertise includes substance abuse, co-occurring disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, grief and loss, and trauma as well as guiding people to decrease stress and living a more gratifying way of life.
In my practice, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Person Centered Therapy. Therapeutic modalities integrate literature, CBT and DBT exercises, and exposure therapy.
I received a Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Medialle College and hold a certificate of generalized DBT from University of Rochester. I have volunteered as a crisis counselor for The Trevor Project. As a former medical professional, I connect my knowledge of the mind and body to create positive change.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Bipolar disorder

Laurie has been incredibly respectful and compassionate throughout each session. She listens to understand, rather than listening to simply respond which has been very beneficial on creating an effective plan for me.

Laurie is amazing and I don't know what I'd do without her! She's is so 'real' and an absolute delight to speak to. She really cares and I can't imagine working with anyone else!

BetterHelp has been so helpful and in a way life changing. I work in an industry with very long and sporadic hours. This gives me the flexibility to be a professional while also taking care of my mental health. My therapist has become an amazing part of my life- where I look forward to her help and insight. Knowing that I can text her and get responses during the week apart from our scheduled sessions is extremely calming to my anxiety and supportive of my wellbeing. I have recently been doing several of the group sessions each week- and the intellectual aspect of therapy has been extremely helpful. I take notes from my group sessions to review and further delve into with my personal therapist. I am extremely thankful for what this platform has allowed me to do. I am very connected to my therapist and look to her for guidance and support.
