Laura offers non-judgmental support, compassionate curiosity, and professional psychodynamic psychotherapy to clients seeking support in healing, growth, and change.
Laura completed her clinical training and coursework in Mental Health Counseling at Christian Theological Seminary, where she practiced psychodynamic and spiritually integrated psychotherapy.
With a person-centered, strengths-based approach to therapy, Laura will also use therapeutic techniques that aim to make conscious unconscious beliefs, behavioral and relational patterns, fears, hopes, and dreams.
The therapist-client relationship is the most immediate ground for understanding patterns of relating that have formed from the client’s earliest parental relationships. Using dreams, creative writing, free association, Internal Family Systems, and other psychodynamic approaches, we will collaborate on moving toward the client’s desired goals for growth and change.
She works with adult clients (18+) who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, spiritual and religious trauma, life adjustment, relationship issues, identity and self-esteem challenges, personality disorders, abortion, perinatal and parenting challenges.
She brings training, experience, and great passion for working with Black and Latinx clients as well as clients of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations.
She has lived several years in Peru and Bolivia, and is available to seeing Spanish-speaking clients.
In sessions with Laura, you can expect to collaboratively create goals, speak directly about challenges with therapy itself, and explore how therapy can best serve your well-being. She truly looks forward to working with you.
